Question

Write the point-slope equation of the line with the given properties. Solve the equation for y. M= -0.25, (12,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -0.25x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Here, y1 is 7, m is -0.25, and x1 is 12

When you plug these values in, you get y - 7 = -0.25 (x - 12)

Now we have to solve for y.

y - 7 = -0.25 (x - 12)

Distribute

y - 7 = -0.25x + 3

Add 7 to both sides

y = -0.25x + 10
