Answer:

y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • slope = -1
  • point (2,-8)

From:

\displaystyle \large{y=mx+b}

where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Therefore:

\displaystyle \large{y=-1x+b}\\\displaystyle \large{y=-x+b}

Since the equation passes through a point (2,-8). Substitute x = 2 and y = -8 in and solve for b:

\displaystyle \large{-8=-2+b}\\\displaystyle \large{-8+2=b}\\\displaystyle \large{b=-6}

Then substitute b-value in the equation:

\displaystyle \large{y=-x+b}\\\displaystyle \large{\therefore y=-x-6}

Hence, the equation is y = -x - 6

Answer:

y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given that a line contains the point (2, -8), and a slope of -1

We want to find the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is written using the formula y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y at the y intercept, hence the name

Notice how we are already given the slope - we can immediately plug that into the equation as m.

y = -x + b (when -1 is the coefficient in front of a number, there is no need to write '-1x'. '-x' is sufficient.)

Now, we need to find b

The line contains the point (2, -8), meaning that it is a solution to the equation. If this is the case, that means that the values of x and y that make up the point will make the equation true, when you plug those values into the equation

So substitute 2 as x and -8 as y:

-8 = -2 + b

Add 2 to both sides

-8 = -2 + b

+2    + 2

_____________

-6 = b

Substitute -6 as b.

y = -x -6

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The Y intercept is where x is = to zero.

If x is zero that is one section of the chart back.

so 1 would be subtracted from Y.

Answer:

63 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter is the sum of all four sides and, since it's a square then all sides are equal

to find how long each side is divide 252 by 4

252÷4 = 63

In the solution, 3b + 9c = 3(b + 3). What should be done to make it CORRECT?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The second term of the binomial factor should be 3c instead of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

a*b + a*c = a*(b +c)

3b + 9c = 3*b + 3* 3 *c = 3*(b + 3c)

Write the Slope- Intercept equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line (0, -
damaskus [11]

Answer:

y+4=-3(x+0) or y=-3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

so you have to make it in form y=mx+b

that would be y=1/3x-2/3

for a perpendicular line, you would need to find the opposite reciprocal of the slope

3/1 or 3 would be the reciprocal, so to make it opposite would be -3

So it would be y-y1 = m(x-x2)

fill it in with the coordinates (0,-4)

y+4=-3(x-0)

to get it to slope intercept form you have to simplify, and after that you get y=-3x-4
