Find the slope -5/4 4/5 -4/5
1 answer:
Answer:
The slope of the line is ⇒ B
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope of a line using any two points on the line (x1, y1) 1nd (x2, y2) by using this rule
<em>Let us use this rule to answer the question</em>
From the attached graph:
∵ The given line passes through points (-1, -2) and (4, 2)
→ That means point (x1, y1) = (-1, -2) and point (x2, y2) = (4, 2)
∴ x1 = -1 and x2 = 4
∴ y1 = -2 and y2 = 2
→ Substitute their values in the rule of the slope above
∴
∴ The slope of the line is

Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.

Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.
(-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0
A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...
-5x +5 = 0
So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.
