That looks like a translation; let's check. We have
A(-5,1), B(-3,7), A'(3,-1), B'(5,5)
If it's a translation by T(x,y) we'd have
A' = A + T
B' = B + T
so
T = A' - A = (3,-1) - (-5,1) = (8,-2)
and also
T = B' - B = (5, 5) - (-3, 7) = (8,-2)
They're the same so we've verified this transformation is a translation by (8,-2), eight right, two down.
Answer:
y = - 2x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 8)
m =
=
= - 2, thus
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (- 2, - 2), then
- 2 = 4 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 4 = - 6
y = - 2x - 6 ← equation of line
