Step-by-step explanation:
first, we find the slope
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-3,7)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 7
(9,-1)...x2 = 9 and y2 = -1
now we sub
slope(m) = (-1 - 7) / (9 - (-3) = -8 / (9 + 3) = -8 / 12 reduces to - 2/3
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2/3
use either of ur points...I will use (-3,7)...x = -3 and y = 7
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
7 = -2/3(-3) + b
7 = 2 + b
7 - 2 = b
5 = b
so ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5 <===
Answer:
y = - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute in -1 for x
8(-1) - 2y = 10
-8 - 2y = 10
Subtract -8 from both sides
-8 - (-8) cancels out to 0
10 - (-8) = 18
We are left with:
-2y = 18
Divide by -2 on both sides.
-2y/-2 = y
18/-2 = -9
y = -9
