Answer:

b = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 3)

m = \frac{3+5}{-6+4} = \frac{8}{-2} = - 4

y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation

to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation

using (- 4, - 5 ), then

- 5 = 16 + b ⇒ b = - 5 - 16 = - 21

Answer: -21

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)

Then , the equation of a line passing through points J(-4, -5) and K(-6, 3) is given by :-

(y-(-5))=\dfrac{3-(-5)}{-6-(-4)}(x-(-4))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y+5)=\dfrac{8}{-2}(x+4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+5=-4(x+4))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+5=-4x-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-4x-21

Comparing to the general intercept form of equation y = mx + b, we get

The value of b=-21

Jeffrey went to the movies with his friends. The tickets cost $8.50 each for students and they spent $15.00 altogether at the co
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

4 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first write an equation.

We want to find the number of tickets t

The total was $49 so our equation will equal $49 and they spent $15 in snacks so on the other side of the eqaution we have to add $15, on the same side as the snacks we need to add in the cost of tickets, which is $8.50 multiplies by t, or the total number of tickets.

$49 = $8.50t + $15

Solve for t, first subtract $15 from both sides.

$49 - $15 = $8.50t

$34 = $8.50t   Divide both sides by $8.50

$34/$8.50 =  $8.50t/$8.50  

$34/$8.50 = t

4 = t

4 tickets meaning 4 people went.
