y - y1 = m (x - x1)

where m is the slope and (x1 , y1) is the point given

We are given:

m= -1

the point is <span>(2, 4)
</span>

Then:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y-4 = (-1) (x-2)
y - 4 = -x + 2
y = -x +2 +4

y = -x + 6

Hope that helps you

Answer:

x ≤ - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{-9}\ge \:3\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}\\\\\frac{x\left(-1\right)}{-9}\le \:3\left(-1\right)\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{x}{9}\le \:-3\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}9\\\\\frac{9x}{9}\le \:9\left(-3\right)\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x\le \:-27$

Please help me solve this equation 2x+y=10

krek1111 [17]

This is the answer
$2x + y = 10 \\ y = - 2x + 10$

if substitute 1 and 2 and 3 as x then the points will be :
$\binom{x}{y} \: \: \: \: \: \: \binom{1}{8} \: \: \: \: \: \: \binom{2}{6} \: \: \: \: \: \: \binom{3}{4}$

and that's the picture

good luck
