Answer:
<h2>
y = 3x - 16</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of line with a given slope of a and containing a given point (x₀, y₀):
y - y₀ = a(x - x₀)
a = 3, x₀ = 5, y₀ = -1
So:
y - (-1) = 3(x - 5)
y = 3x - 15 - 1
<u>y = 3x - 16</u>
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
and
(because that's the ground), so substituting that into
gives
.
Answer:
<u>Third Option</u>: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points on the graph, (4, 5) and (-4, -5):
In order to determine the equation of the given graph in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:
Use the given points to solve for the slope:
Let (x₁, y₁) = (-4, -5)
(x₂, y₂) = (4, 5)
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Therefore, the slope of the line is:
.
Next, use one of the given points on the graph, (4, 5) to solve for the y-intercept, b:
y = mx + b
5 =
+ b
5 = 5 + b
5 - 5 = 5 - 5 + b
0 = b
Therefore, the linear equation in slope-intercept form is:
. The correct answer is Option 3.
