The slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Plug in the slope, 6, into m.

Rewrite the equation;

y = 6x + b
We need to find b, your y-intercept, to finish this equation.

Plug in your point coordinate, (x, y) ⇒ (-12, -14) into the equation.

-14 = 6(-12) + b

Solve for b to find the y-intercept.

-14 = -72 + b
58 = b

Your new equation (your answer) is<em> </em>y = 6x + 58.

Answer:

$\boxed{\bold{-21x^3y^4}}$

Explanation:

[ Step One ] Remove Parenthesis: (a) = a

$\bold{-3x^2y\cdot \:7xy^3}$

[ Step Two ] Multiply: $\bold{3\cdot \:7=21}$

$\bold{-21x^2xy^3y}$

[ Step Three ] Apply Exponent Rule $\bold{\:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}: \ x^2x=\:x^{2+1}=\:x^3}$

$\bold{-21x^3y^3y}$

[ Step Four ] Apply Exponent Rule: $\bold{y^3y=\:y^{1+3}=\:y^4}$

$\bold{-21x^3y^4}$

[ $\boxed{\bold{Final \ Answer}}$ ]

➤ $\bold{-21x^3y^4}$

$\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}$

The slope of the line below is -5 which of the following is the point-slope form of the line (2,-8)

insens350 [35]

The point slope form has the following syntax.

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$
m = slope = -5
$y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)$
(x,y) = (2,-8)
$x_1 = 2$
$y_1 = -8$
$y - y_1 = -5(x - x_1)$
$y - (-8) = -5(x - 2)$
$y + 8 = -5(x - 2)$ <------Answer

Evaluate the following: (½)(10) −(−12) −25

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 times 10 is 5. and a negative times a negative is a positive, so you have a positive 12, which becomes 5+12-25, which is -8
