-2(x-3) = 5x+1

-2x +6 = 5x+1

subtract 5 x from each side

-7x+6 = 1

subtract 6 from each side

-7x = -5

divide both sides by -7

x = -5/-7 = 5/7

x = 5/7

A line includes the points 2, 10 and 0, 2 what is its equation in slope intercept form

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

y = -4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b ( slope-intercept)

1. Find Slope:

$\frac{y^2 - y^1}{x^2 - x^1}$

Lets name 2 as y2 and 10 as y1. And 0 as x2 and 2 as x1.

$\frac{2-10}{0-2}$ = $\frac{-8}{2}$ = -4

m/slope = -4

2. Find y-intercept:

$y = mx +b$

2 = -4(0) + b

= 2 = b

Y-intercept/b = 2

3. Put into slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

= y = -4x + 2

Hope that helps! :D
