Find the equation of the line using the exact numbers

Mathematics

It wants you to write the answer in slope intercept form

y = mx + b

m is the slope (\frac{rise}{run})

b is the y-intercept (where the line intersects the y axis)

The rise is 1

The run is -4 (this is negative because it runs from right to left)

^^^Both of these can be seen labeled in pink on the graph below

Slope: \frac{-1}{4} = -0.25

^^^This has a negative slope because the line is decreasing from left to right

Y - intercept: (0, - 6) <<< b will just be -6

^^^Can be seen labeled in green on the graph below

We know that m (slope) is  \frac{-1}{4} (aka -0.25)and that b is -6. You can plug this into the equation y = mx + b:

y =  \frac{-1}{4}x - 6

OR

y = -0.25x - 6

Hope this helped!

Answer:

y = -0.25x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can either just read off the slope m = -0.25 and the intersection with the vertical n = -6 or you form a system of equations from points you choose on the graph. For example:

(0,-6);(4,-7)

The general equation for a line:

y = m*x + n

The two points on the graph form a system of two equations:

1. -6 = m*0 + n

2. -7 = m*4 + n

You can read off n right away fro equation 1:

n = -6

Plugging n into equation 2:

-7 = m*4 - 6 => -1 = m*4 => m = -1/4

Find the coordinates of point B along a directed line segment from A(3,4) and
andreev551 [17]

We have been given two points. A(3,4) and C(3,9). We are asked to find the point B such that it divides line segment AC so that the ratio of AB to BC is 4:1.

We will use segment formula to solve our given problem.

When a point P divides segment any segment internally in the ratio m:n, then coordinates of point P are:

[\right x=\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},y=\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\left]

(x_1,y_1)=(3,4) and (x_2,y_2)=(3,9).

m=4,n=1

Upon substituting our given information in above formula, we will get:

[\right x=\frac{4(3)+1(3)}{4+1},y=\frac{4(9)+1(4)}{4+1}\left]

[\right x=\frac{12+3}{5},y=\frac{36+4}{5}\left]

[\right x=\frac{15}{5},y=\frac{40}{5}\left]

[\right x=3,y=8\left]

Therefore, the coordinates of point B would be (3,8).
