-2=x1 7=y1 -8=x2 4=y2

Y=Mx+b

Y2-y1 = 4-7 =-3
X2-x1 = -8-(-2) = -6
M (slope) = 3

Use the coordinate (-8, 4)

Y = MX + B = 4 = 3(-8) + b
4 = -24+ B
Add 24 to both sides to keep your equation balanced
B equals 28

Y = 3X + 28

Answer:

\sf \textsf{Equation:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line can be written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

<u>where:</u>

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

To find the equation of a line when given two points, we first need to find the slope of the line.

The slope can be found using the following formula:

\sf m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given the points (-2, 7) and (-8, 4):

y₂ = 4, y₁ = 7

x₂ = -8, x₁ = -2

Substitute the values into the formula:

\sf m=\dfrac{4-7}{-8-(-2)}\ \textsf{[simplify]}\\\\m=\dfrac{4-7}{-8+2}\ \textsf{[simplify]}\\\\m=\dfrac{-3}{-6}=\dfrac{3}{6}\ \textsf{[reduce]}\\\\m=\dfrac{3\div3}{6\div3}\\\\m=\dfrac{1}{2}

Now, use one of the given points to solve for <u><em>b</em></u> by substituting the x and y-value into the equation:

\sf y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+b\\\\4=\dfrac{1}{2}(-8)+b\ \textsf{[multiply]}\\\\4=-4+b\ \textsf{[add 4 to both sides]}\\\\4+4=-4+4+b\\\\8=b

\sf \textsf{Equation of the line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+8

Check your work:

\sf y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+8\\\\7=\dfrac{1}{2}(-2)+8\\\\7=-1+8\\\\7=7\ \checkmark

\sf \textsf{Therefore, our equation is:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+8

Liam, Sarah and Emily shared some money in the ratio 2:3:5. Liam got £30 less than Sarah.
blondinia [14]

The number representing Liam's share is 2; for Sarah's share, it is 3. The difference of those is 1, so each 1 unit of share must be £30, the difference between the amount Sarah got and the amount Liam got.

Emily got 5 shares or £30 × 5 = £150.

8. Graph the following equation: y = x2 + 4x - 5
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Given: y = x2 + 4x – 5

Find the following

y-intercept

x-intercepts or the zeros of the functions or roots

graph of the function, given vertex is at (-2, -9)

Solve the system of linear equations      – x + 6y = 8        2x + 5y = 3

Write the names of curves, given their equations:  

x2/16 + y2/9 = 1

3y = 2x + 5

(x - 5)2 + (y + 6)2 = 25

x2/16 – y2/25 = 1

y = 2x2 + 10x + 25

Write down the first five terms of the arithmetic progression with the first term 8 and common difference 7, then find the 17th

Write down the first five terms of the geometric progression with the first term 3 and common ratio 2, then find the 17th

Answer:

A) 27

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{16}{16 + 12}  =  \frac{63 - ?}{63}

➡️ \frac{4}{7}  =  \frac{63-? }{63}

➡️ 63 - ? = 36

➡️ ? = 27
