Slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y intercept.

The easiest way to solve this problem is by using another equation for a line, also known as point slope form. This equation is best to use for a line if you have  a point and slope of the line, but do not have the y-intercept.

We need to find the slope of this line passing through the pair of points (-1, 3) and (2, -5). We can do this by using the slope formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute in the appropriate coordinates.

\frac{-5-3}{2-(-1)} = \frac{-8}{3}, so the slope of the line is -8/3.

Point slope form of a line is y-y_1=m(x-x_1). Substitute -8/3 for m, and use the point coordinate (-1, 3) for y1 and x1. You could use either point coordinate but I chose to use this one.

y-3= -8/3[x-(-1)]

Distribute -8/3 inside the parentheses.

y-3= -8/3x - 8/3

Add 3 to both sides.

y = -8/3x + 1/3 is your answer (slope intercept form).

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Points (-1,3) and (2,-5)


M= -5-3/2-(-1)


M= -8/3


M= -8/3


Slope is -8/3


Now fill in the formula equation of a line using one if the points and slope to find b .


(2,-5) and slope -8/3


Y=mx+b


-5=-8/3(2)+b


-5=-16/3+b

-5+16/3=b

1/3=b


Now put all together


Y= -8/3x+1/3

Through:(3,-1),slope=-1
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x -h):

y - [-1] = -1(x - 3), or

y + 1 = -x + 3, or

y = -x + 2

(w-w^2)^4=?<br>.......................​
Setler [38]

Answer:

w^8 - 4w^7 + 6w^6  - 4w^5 + w^4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

(w - w^2)^4

= w^4 ( 1 - w)^4

By the binomial theorem:

= w^4( 1  - 4w + 6w^2 - 4w^3 + w^4)

= w^4 - 4w^5 + 6w^6 - 4w^7 + w^8

=  w^8 - 4w^7 + 6w^6  - 4w^5 + w^4 ( Standard form).
