What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-2) and (-1,3)

2 answers:

The answer would be y=-x-4

3-(-2)/-1-4 is the slope
Simplified, the slope is -1
So far, we have y=-1x+b.
We know that 4,-2 is a point on this line, so we plug it in.
-2=-1(-2)+b which is the same as -2=2+b
Therefore b=-4
Then plug b back in. We get
y=-x-4 which is the answer

Answer:

<h3>The slope is -1.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of the line that passes through the points, you have to use the slope formula.

Slope:

$\Rightarrow \sf{\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} }$

y2=3

y1=(-2)

x2=(-1)

x1=4

Solve.

3--2/-1-4=5/-5=-1

The slope is -1.

1. write it on a piece of paper

stiv31 [10]

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1\dfrac{1}{2}+2\dfrac{3}{4}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{11}{4}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{6+11}{4}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{17}{4}$

2:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4\dfrac{3}{7}+6\dfrac{1}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{31}{7}+\dfrac{31}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{155+225}{35}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{380}{35}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 12$

3:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4\dfrac{2}{5}+5\dfrac{2}{6}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{22}{5}+\dfrac{32}{6}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{132+160}{30}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{292}{30}$

4:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3\dfrac{7}{7}+3\dfrac{1}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{28}{7}+\dfrac{10}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 4+\dfrac{10}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{12+10}{3}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{22}{3}$

A copy machine repairman makes $12.50 per hour plus $4 for every service call he performs. Last week he worked 34 hours and made

Slav-nsk [51]

Hours = 34 Income per hour = 12.5$ Service calls = 6 Income per call = 4 Therefore, total income = (time of working * income per hour) + (service calls * income per call) = (34*12.5) + (6*4) = 425+24 = 449
