What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (14, 5) and (20, –4)? A. -3/2 B. -2/3 C. 2/3 D. 3/2

1 answer:

6 0

The slope of the line that passes through the points (14/5) and (20, -4), so you take y-y/x-x so you substitute the y's in for 5 and -4 and x in for 14 and 20.

5--4/ 14-20
9/-6
Then you make the fraction smaller!

Answer:

x = 2

y = -3

z = 4

( 2 , -3, 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 3 ---- i

x – y =5 ---- ii

y - z = -7 ---- iii

ii + iii

x - z = -2 ---- iv

i + ii

2x + z = 8 --- v

iv + v

3x = 6

x = 2

x=2 substitute for v

z = 4

x =2 substitute for ii

y = -3

Write equation of the line below

vodka [1.7K]

Hi there!

We are given two ordered pairs which are:

(0,0)
(5,4)

If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).

1. Find the slope

Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} } \\ \large \boxed{m = \frac{4}{5} }$

2. Form an equation.

Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We substitute m = 4/5.

$\large{y = \frac{4}{5} x + b}$

Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{4}{5} x}$
