Find the slope between the two points: (3,-2) and (4,7)

To find slope given two points, there is a formula you can use: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Y2 stands for the second y coordinate and y1 stands for the first y coordinate. The same logic applies to the x's. Let's assume that (3, -2) is x1, y1 and (4,7) is x2, y2. Let's plug them into the formula.

(7-(-2))/(4-3).
7-(-2)=9 for total y value.

4-3=1 for the x value.

Now we divide them.
9/1=9. 9=m. M is the variable commonly used for slope. Hope this helped!

What is the equation of this line? Picture included

enot [183]

A straight line needs two pieces of information to be identified, a gradient and a y-intercept (technically any point will do but the y-intercept is particularly convenient if we have it).

The gradient is calculated by taking two points on the line, and dividing the change in y-coordinate by the change in x-coordinate between them. I'm going to take the points (0,-3) and (2,-2).

The change in y-coordinate is (-2) - (-3) = 1

The change in x-coordinate is (2) - (0) = 2.

Gradient = m = 1/2

Next we identify the y-intercept, the value of y when x = 0. This value is -3, and we call it c.

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + c. Slotting in the values for m and c we have ascertained, we find that the equation of this line is:

y = (1/2)x - 3

I hope this helps :)

Answer:

g= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

8g+10 = 35 + 3g

-3g -3g

5g+10=35

-10 -10

5g= 25
