10 out of 15 Which is the equation of the line passing through (0, 8) and (4, 0)?
1 answer:
Answer:
y=-2x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
We want an equation of the form y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y when x=0.
The slope of a line through the two given points:
(4,0) and (0,8)
Rise = (8-0) = 8
Run = (0-4) = -4
Slope = 8/-4 = -2
The y-intercept is given by the point (0,8), which tells us that b=8.
The equation is y = -2x + 8

Answer: m=6, m=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this proportion, we have to cross multiply.
Now that we have cross multiplied, we actually need to FOIL the left side to expand the equation.
Combine like terms.
We can move all terms to one side and then solve for m.
We can actually factor this to:
We set each factor equal to 0 to find m.
m-6=0
m=6
m+4=0
m=-4
