When knowing the slope of a line and its y-intercept, you can write an equation to represent it in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b format. Substitute the m and b for real values.

1) First, find the slope of the equation, or m. Pick any two points from the line and substitute their x and y values into the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . I chose the points (0, -1) and (-1, 0):

$m = \frac{(0)-(-1)}{(-1)-(0)} \\m = \frac{0+1}{-1-0} \\m = \frac{1}{-1} \\m = -1$

Thus, the slope is -1.

2) Now, find the y-intercept, or b. The y-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. By reading the graph, we can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,-1), therefore that must be the y-intercept.

3) Now, substitute the found values into the y = mx + b formula. Substitute -1 for m and -1 for b:

$y = -x -1$

2(5-3v)+9v=28 step by step please

Irina-Kira [14]

First, distribute the 2 across the parenthesis.
10-3v+9v=28
Combine like terms on the left.
10+6v=28
Start to get the numbers on the right and the v alone on the left by moving the 10 to the right.
6v=28-10
6v=18
Divide to get the v alone.
v=3

Hope that helps.
