ABOUT THIS TUTOR ›
y=mx + b is the standard slope intercept form for a line
m=1/2, b =-2
y=(1/2)x -2. y-intercept is -2 or the point (0,-2)
x intercept is found by setting y=0 and solving for x
0=(1/2)x - 2
(1/2)x = 2
x = 4 = the x intercept or (4,0)
plot the 2 intercepts (0,-2) and (4,0)
(4,0) is on the x axis, 4 units to the right of the origin (0,0)
(0,-2) is on the y axis, 2 units below the origin
once you plot those two points, draw a straight line connecting them. That's the graph of the line
Answer:
b= -8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-5-3=7b-3b
-8=5b
b= -8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient = slope or several other words.
it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.
it is represented by the ratio
(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)
when going from one point on the line to another.
in our case, when going from A to B we have
x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).
y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).
so, the gradient or slope is
-11/-2k = 3
11/2k = 3
11 = 3×2k = 6k
k = 11/6
A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)
B = (11/6, -3)
