<h3>y = -3x - 1 is the equation of the given line in slope intercept form (-1, 2) (1, -4)</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ---- eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y intercept

<em><u>Find the slope of line</u></em>

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

From given,

(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 2)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (1, -4)

Therefore,

m = \frac{-4-2}{1+1}\\\\m = \frac{-6}{2}\\\\m = -3

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and (x, y) = (-1, 2) in eqn 1</u></em>

2 = -3(-1) + c

2 = 3 + c

c = -1

<em><u>Substitute m = -3 and c = 1 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = -3x - 1

Thus the equation of line in slope intercept form is found

How do you write the following linear equations in standard form ?
ANTONII [103]
Hi<span>, Victoriasoto93p63zva!

To rewrite these equations in standard form you need to understand that standard form looks something like this Ax+By=C, now obviously there will be variations like </span>Ax-By=C or -Ax+By=C, etc..., but for these expressions, they would look like this:
<span>1. -8y + 0x = 37
2. 14x </span>+ 4y<span> = -18
3. x + </span>\frac{3}{5} y = \frac{4}{5} <span>
4. 13x + 0y = -25

Pls help i dont get how to do this
Lorico [155]

Step-by-step explanation:

What this is saying is...20 is a whole number; but 3/4 is not. What they are saying is, if you have to add a mixed number with a whole number, you can add both of the whole numbers together. Then, you add the 3/4 at the end...because it is not a whole number. You can break apart a mixed number by separating the whole number and the fraction.

Hope this helps :)

Point Q is located at (-4, 6). Point R is located at (8, 6) What is the distance from point Q to point R?
Stels [109]

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that as we go from Q to R, x (the horizontal distance) increases by 12 and y (the vertical distance) does not change.  Thus, the distance between the two points is merely the horizontal distance, 12 units.
