Answer:

m = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points are collinear then the slope between points are equal.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)

m = $\frac{-1-1}{1-5}$ = $\frac{-2}{-4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Repeat with

(x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (m, 4)

m = $\frac{4+1}{m-1}$ = $\frac{5}{m-1}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Cross- multiply

m - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

m = 11

Given the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2, what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? A y = 5x + 2 B y = -5

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B. y = -5x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given values in the form ...

y = (slope)x + (y-intercept)

y = -5x +(-2)

y = -5x -2 . . . . simplify; matches choice B

How can you find the constant of

solong [7]

Answer:

To find the constant of proportionality from the coordinates of

one point on the graph are as follows :-

1.) Find two easy points.

2.) Start with the leftmost point and count how many squares you need to up to get to your second point.

3.) Count how many squares you need to go to the right.

4.) Simplify, and you've found your constant of proportionality.
