Point-slope form is one way of describing a straight line. It is useful when you have a line to be described and you know the coordinates of one point on the line and its gradient (slope).

The point-slope form equation of a straight line for a slope, m, and known coordinate $(x_1, y_1)$ is $y-y_1=m(x-x_1 )$ .

So for your question you have $(x_1, y_1) = (4, -9)$ and slope = m = -1. You just put these numbers into the formula $y-(-9)=-1(x-4)$ and this is your answer: the equation of the line.

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?

Answer:

The correct answer is: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on a Numeric Line

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

$B=-2+\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{7}{4}=-1\frac{3}{4}$

$B=-1\frac{3}{4}$

Point C is one mark below -1, thus:

$C=-1-\frac{1}{4}=-1\frac{1}{4}$

Finally, point D is one mark below 0:

$D=-\frac{1}{4}$

The correct answer is: A

Answer:

Option 1 - $\frac{At}{60}=g$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The goals against average (A) for a professional hockey goalie is determined using the formula $A=60(\frac{g}{t} )$ . In the formula, g represents the number of goals scored against the goalie and t represents the time played, in minutes.
