What is the equation of the line that passes through (2, -7) and (-1, 2)?

Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

First, we find the slope of the line using the two given points.

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-7))/(-1 - 2) = (2 + 7)/(-3) = 9/(-3) = -3

Now we plug in the slope we found into the equation above.

y = -3x + b

We need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use point (2, -7), so x = 2, and y = -7.

y = -3x + b

-7 = -3(2) + b

-7 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-1 = b

Now we plug in -1 for b.

y = -3x - 1

All it takes for a relation to be a function is for each possible first number of a pair there's only one possible second number.


So if any of the sets has two pairs with the same first number, that one's not a function.


The last one has (3,2) and (3,5) so isn't a function.

Answer:

1. You would divide 30 by 3 which would be 10 bags of leaves per hour.

2. You would divide 34 by 17 which would be 2 quizzes per week.

3. You would have 7 people because it says Mrs. Sapanaro and the other 6. So you divide 245 by 7 which is 35$ per person.
