What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (−4, −1) and (5, 7) ?

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{7-(-1)}{5-(-4)}=\dfrac{7+1}{5+4}=\dfrac{8}{9}\\\\\boxed{y-7=\dfrac{8}{9}(x-5)}

Write the equation Y=mx+b Not just the rate of change
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

y=2/5x+8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

so say you plot a graph of rain against the hours the gradient would be the rate of change and the information given as your points and the gradient

now to get an equation of a straight line use one of your points eg(1,2) and the gradient or rate of change mine was 0.4

PLSSS HELP ME WITH MATH
labwork [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

always remember, equations and inequalities are like a scale with 2 pans (left and right).

a variable is like a placeholder, an empty spot on the pans. and the expressions on both sides are kind of the conditions for the things to put in these empty spots so that the status of the scale stays unchanged.

for an equation the scale has to stay balanced all the time.

and in an inequality one side is heavier that the other (it normally does not matter how much heavier) with "<" or ">" signs, or the scale can be also balanced with "<=" or ">=" signs. just the other side must never be heavier.

A

so, in our case here

2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = 4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = 4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. 5 ?

2×5 - 5 >= 3

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = 5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

2x - 5 >= 3

2x >= 8

x >= 4

so, really every value of x that is greater or equal to 4 is a valid solution for the inequality.

B

-2x - 5 = 3

yes, the solution (the ONLY solution, actually) is x = -4. no other value of x allows the scale to be balanced.

-2x - 5 >= 3

well, since it is a ">=" sign, we can be lazy and treat it like the equation above, and x = -4 is therefore a valid solution for the inequality too.

but so is every other value of x that makes the left side "heavier". what about e.g. -5 ?

-2×-5 - 5 >= 3

remember, -×- = +

10 - 5 >= 3

5 >= 3

true, great ! so, e.g. x = -5 is also a valid solution.

what else ?

let's simplify the inequality

-2x - 5 >= 3

-2x >= 8

x <= -4

a multiplication or division by a negative value flips the inequality sign, because such an operation makes a light weight heavy and a heavy weight light.

so, really every value of x that is less or equal to -4 is a valid solution for the inequality.
