We are given an (X, Y) in (-1, 6). We are also given a slope of -2.

Start by plugging all those values into the slope intercept equation.

6 = -2*-1 + B

Solve for B.

B = 4

Now, all you have to do is put it back into the equation again, this time not using the (X,Y) we had initially, but just the slope (-2) and our new "B" value (5).

The resulting equation looks like this:

y= -2x + 4

And that's the answer.

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(-1,6)....x = -1 and y = 6
now we sub and find b, the y int
6 = -2(-1) + b
6 = 2 + b
6 - 2 = b
4 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2x + 4 <==

I need help please explain it bc I don’t understand it
aleksklad [387]
For the two lines to be parallel, the angles labeled 1 and 2 must be equal.
m 1 and m 2 have to be equal.

(5 - 3x) = (5x - 11)
Solve for x:
16=8x
2=x

X has to be 2.

Evaluate the expression 5a + 5b. Let a = -6 and b = -5.
GrogVix [38]
<span>Evaluate the expression 5a + 5b. Let a = -6 and b = -5.

n = 5a + 5b
n = 5(-6) + 5(-5)
n = -30 + -25
n = -55

Hope this helps

How do graphs and equations reveal information about a relationship between two quantities
ohaa [14]
When two quantities have a relationship, there is a corresponding equation that could describe it. These two quantities may be expressed in variables of x and y. When you plot the graph, you may see a line or a curve. This presents the trend of the relationship of the two quantities when the independent variable changes.
