Answer:

Given points ( -1 , 4.5 ) and ( 6 , 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

first we should calculate slope 

Slope ( m) 

= ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1) 

= ( 8 - 4.5 ) / ( 6 + 1 )

= 3.5/7

= 0.5

Now the equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 4.5 = 0.5 ( x + 1 )

( y - 4.5 ) = 0.5 ( x + 1)

y - 4.5 = 0.5x + 0.5

y = 0.5x + 0.5 + 4.5

y = 0.5x + 5

Write the equation in slope intercept form with a slope of 3/4 and passes through (-4,-5)

attashe74 [19]

Answer:Use the slope −2 and the point (−4,−5) to find the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

⇒−5=(−2×−4)+b

⇒−5=8+b

⇒b=−13

Write the equation in slope intercept form as:

y=mx+b

⇒y=(−2)x−13

Hence, the equation of the line is y=−2x−13.

I thought of a number, added 4 5/7 to it, and got the number equal to the original one times 12. What was the original number?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

x=3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

x+4 5/7 = 12x

4 5/7 = 11x

x = 3/7
