Write the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form

Answer:

y = -3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a line on a coordinate grid, with 2 marked points, (-1, 2) and (1, -4)

We can use these points to help find the equation of the line, which we can write in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, we need to find the slope of the line
The formula for the slope calculated from 2 points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have everything we need to find the slope, but let's label the values of the points to help avoid confusion.

x_1=-1\\y_1=2\\x_2=1\\y_2=-4

Now substitute these values into the formula to find the slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-4-2}{1--1}

Simplify

m=\frac{-4-2}{1+1}

m=\frac{-6}{2}

Divide

m= -3

The slope of the line is -3

We can substitute this into the formula.
Here's our line so far:

y = -3x + b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through the points (-1, 2) and (1, -4), we can use either one to find the value of b

Taking (-1, 2) for example:

Substitute -1 as x and 2 as y.

2 = -3(-1) + b

multiply

2 = 3 + b

Subtract 3 from both sides

-1 = b

Substitute -1 as b.

y = -3x - 1

Hope this helps!

Find the value for x​
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Value of x --> 15°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(2x + 60°) and 6x lie on a straight line. So, they form a linear pair. Their sum gives 180°.

---> (2x + 60°) + 6x = 180°

     2x + 60° + 6x = 180°

     8x + 60° = 180°

     8x = 180°- 60°

     8x = 120

      x = \frac{120}{8}

<h3><u>x equals 15°</u></h3>

If the common difference of an ap is 3/2 and its 20 th term 35×1/2 find first term and 15 th term
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = 3/2

a₂₀ = a₁+19d

35/2 = a₁ + 19×3/2

a₁ = 35/2 - 19×3/2 = -11

a₁₅ = a₁+14d = -11 + 14×3/2 = 10

Find the height of the flagpole and feet is it cast a 18 ft Shadow and the 5-foot 11-inch Man cast a 3-foot shadow. Round your a
omeli [17]

Answer:

  36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The pole's shadow is 6 times the length of the man's shadow, so the pole is 6 times as high as the man.

  6 × 5'11" = 30'66" = 35'6" ≈ 36 ft

Andre says 10x + 6 and 5x + 11 are equivalent because they both equal 16 when x is 1. Do you agree with Andre?​
Serga [27]

Answer:

No, They are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The two expressions are only said to be equivalent if they are the same regardless of whatever value the variable(s) is.

The variable in this question is x.

To prove this, we equate both expressions:

10x + 6 = 5x + 11

10x - 5x = 11 - 6\\\\\\5x = 5\\\\\\x = 1

This shows that they have the same value ONLY when x is 1.

This is why Andre says that they are equivalent, but they are not.
