Answer:

y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 3)

m = \frac{3+6}{4-1} = \frac{9}{3} = 3

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute any of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 3), then

3 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 12 = - 9, hence

y- intercept c = - 9 ⇒ (0, - 9 )

Answer:

=-9 (the first choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept we must first find the equation of the line in the form y=mx + c where m is the gradient and c is the y- intercept.

m=Δy/Δx

=(3--6)/(4-1)

=9/3

=3

Let us write the equation using any of the given points, say (4,3)

(y-3)/(x-4)=3

y-3=3(x-4)

y-3=3x-12

y=3x-12+3

y=3x-9

Using the format y=mx+c, the y-intercept is -9

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y + 8.5 = 17.2?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Subtract 8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, y has to be isolated (only y will be on one side of the equation)

To do this, we have to get rid of the 8.5, so it has to be subtracted from both sides.

So, the correct answer is subtract 8.5
