What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3?

Mathematics

The equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3 is y = -3x + 8.

<h3>How to find the equation of a line?</h3>

The equation of a line can be represented in slope intercept form as follows:

y = mx + b

where

  • m = slope
  • b = y-intercept

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -3 can be found as follows;

m = -3

Hence,

y = -3x + b

using (4, -4) let's find the y-intercept.

-4 = -3(4) + b

-4  = - 12 + b

b = -4 + 12

b = 8

Therefore, the equation is y = -3x + 8

Write a fraction equivalent to 3/5 that has a denominator of 100.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

60/100

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 20 goes into 100 5 times, so we multiple numerator and denominator by 20 to get an equivalent fraction:

\frac{3}{5} (\frac{20}{20} )=\frac{3(20)}{5(20)} =\frac{60}{100}

Roman buys seed packets for the school garden. One packet of radish seeds costs $1.75. One packet of tomato seeds costs $2.50. L
HACTEHA [7]
Answer:

C. t=23,r=9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent the cost of one packet of radish seeds and let t represent the cost of one packet of tomato seeds.

Roman spent $62.75

This implies that,

1.75r+2.5t=62.75...eqn1

Roman bought 32 packets of seeds and one packet of radish seeds costs
$ 1.75.
One packet of tomato seeds costs $ 2.50.

This implies that,

r+t=32...eqn2

Using guess and check means we substitute into the given equation.

A) We substitute t=8,r=24 into both equations.

1.75(8)+2.5(24)=62.75...eqn1

14+60\ne 62.75...eqn1

8+24=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

B)

We substitute t=9,r=23 into both equations.

1.75(9)+2.5(23)=62.75...eqn1

15.75+57.5\ne 62.75...eqn1

9+23=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

C)

We substitute t=23,r=9 into both equations.

1.75(23)+2.5(9)=62.75...eqn1

40.25+22.5 =62.75...eqn1

23+9=32...eqn2

Both equations are satisfied.

Hence the solution is,

t=23,r=9

D) We substitute t=24,r=8 into both equations.

1.75(24)+2.5(8)=62.75...eqn1

42+20\ne 62.75...eqn1

24+8=32...eqn2

Both equations are not satisfied.

X intercept -7 y intercept -5
Fittoniya [83]
The x-intercept of a line is when the y coordinate is equal to 0. So, the x-intercept would be (0,-7).

The y-intercept of a line is when the x coordinate is equal to 0. So the y-intercept would be (-5,0).

To find the equation of a line, you need the slope and the y-intercept.
We already know the y intercept is -5. The equation for a line is:

Y=mx+b

m stands for slope
b stands for the y intercept.

To find the slope, use the equation-

y1-y2
--------
x1-x2

Another way to say that is the change in y over the change in x.

Plug in the the 2 coordinate points you know, which are (-7,0) and (0,-5).

0+5
-------,
-7-0


5/-7.

The slope is 5/-7
The Y intercept is -5

The equation of the line is y= 5/-7x -5

The coordinate point for the x intercept is (-7,0)
The coordinate point for the y intercept is (0,-5)
