Answer: y = 5x − 11
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c
Where c = intercept
Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent
change in the value of y = y2 - y1
Change in value of x = x2 -x1
y2 = final value of y
y 1 = initial value of y
x2 = final value of x
x1 = initial value of x
The line passes through (3,4) and (2, -1),
y2 = - 1
y1 = 4
x2 = 2
x1 = 3
Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(2 - 3) = - 5/- 1 = 5
To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 4 and m= 5 into
y = mx + c. It becomes
4 = 5 × 3 + c
4 = 15 + c
c = 4 - 15 = - 11
The equation becomes
y = 5x - 11
Answer:
It is impossible becuase it would not eqaul the numbers a regular triangles would have. A triangle has to equal a certain number and this number does not make a traingle.
