Question

Help. I’m really bad at math. What is the answer?

Answer 1

10) (9,-3); m=2

(a) y=2x-11
Plug in the variables that are constant on both the given line and the new one.
y=mx+b

-3=2(9)+b

Do not input b, as the y intercept is relative to the specific line, and not others.

-3=18+b
-3-18=b
-21=b

The y intercept of the new line is -21.

FINAL ANSWER::y=2x-21

(b) y=2x-21
Plug in the variables that are constant on both the given line and the new one.
y=mx+b

-3=2(9)+b

Do not input b, as the y intercept is relative to the specific line, and not others.

-3=18+b
-3-18=b
-21=b

The y intercept of the new line is -21

FINAL ANSWER::y=2x-21
Or equivalent to the original.

Hope this helps you solve the rest. ;)
