Write a slope intercept equation for a line that passes through (-2,5) and (2,-7)

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

First, find slope using the given coordinates. Formula for slope: y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂.

Our coordinates are (-2, 5) and (2, -7). Plug them in and simplify.

5 - (-7) / -2 - 2

5 + 7 / -4

12/-4

-3

The slope is -3. The equation becomes y = -3x + b.

To find b, plug an (x, y) coordinate on the line in for x and y in the equation and solve. I'll use (-2, 5)

y = -3x + b

5 = -3(-2) + b

5 = 6 + b

-1 = b

The y-intercept is (0, -1). The equation can now be completed!

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -3x - 1

HELP PLEASE FOR 35 POINTS!!!! Solve the rational equation 3 divided by x equals quantity 4 times x plus 3 divided by x squared,
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given:

\frac{3}{x}=\frac{4x+3}{x^2}

First, we should immediately rule out 0 as an answer. This is because the if x=0, the equation would be undefined.

x\neq 0

Now, cross multiply.

3(x^2)=x(4x+3)

3x^2=4x^2+3x

Divide everything by x (and we can do this safely because we already know x cannot be equal to zero).

3x=4x+3

-x=3

x=-3

We didn't run into any possibilities for extraneous solutions.

What does it mean when a question number is circled in a textbook
RoseWind [281]
This is only my opinion.  I could be wrong.

My guess is:

Somebody else used that book before you, maybe last year or
the year before, and it was somebody who didn't mind writing
in his book.

One day he didn't have time to write down the homework in his
assignment notebook, so he just circled the homework problems
in his textbook.
