Question

Write an equation for the linear function f with the given values Question number 8

Answer 1

Answer:

5. y = 2/3x + 1

8. y = 4/7x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

5. (-6, -3) and (6, 5)

You can use the slope formula which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find the slope and plug it back into the slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept

(5-(-3)) / (6-(-6)) = 8 / 12 = 2/3

slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

to find b you can plug in one of the coordinates and the slope

5 = 6(2/3) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 = b

y = 2/3x + 1

8. (-7, -8), (21, 8)

m = (8 -  (-8)) / (21 - (-7)) = 16 / 28 = 4/7

plug in one of the coordinates and the slope to find b or the y-intercept

8 = 21(4/7) + b

8 = 12 + b

-4 = b

y = 4/7x - 4
