Answer:

y=4x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

we are given that a line has a slope of 4 and it contains the point (4, 12)

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

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

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute it into the formula.

Replace m with 4 in y=mx+b:

y=4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through the point (4, 12), we can use it to help solve for b

Substitute 4 as x and 12 as y:

12 = 4(4) + b

Multiply

12 = 16 + b

Subtract 16 from both sides

-4 = b

Substitute -4 as b

y = 4x - 4

Hope this helps!

I need help please and thank you.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula gives you a relation between S and n. For every n, you can perform the calculation and obtain an S.

So, for n=0 we get 0/2 (0+1) which equals 0. So (0,0) is an (n,S) pair.

Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through ( -5,0 ) ( 0 ,-9)
insens350 [35]

The general form for a line through two points (a,b) and (c,d) is

(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)

This is better than the slope forms because it works in the no slope case, as does the standard form.

If you haven't seen it before, it works because when (x,y)=(a,b) we get (c-a)(b-b)=(d-b)(a-a), both sides zero, and when (x,y)=(c,d) we get (c-a)(d-b)=(d-b)(c-a), clearly equal sides.

Here we have

(0 - -5)(y - 0) = (-9 - 0)(x - - 5)

5y = -9(x+5)

5y = -9x - 45

9x + 5y = -45

Ironically there are two standards for standard form; one with the constant alone on the right and one with the whole thing equal to zero.  I like the constant alone.

Answer: 9x + 5y = -45

Check:

We check each point is on the line

(-5,0)

9(-5) + 5(0) = -45, good

(0, -9)

9(0) + 5(-9) = -45, good again

Which term describes the slope of the line below?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

negative

Step-by-step explanation:

looking at the slope of the straight line, a positive slope will begin on the 1st quadrant and end at the 3rd quadrant

meaning if the slope is negative, it will begin on the 2nd quadrant and end on the 4th quadrant
