M = -8
-15 minus -7 equals -8
So.. both sides divided by 4.
Now u have 14/68=x/6 -5
Multiply all by 6
Now u have 84/68=x-30
21/17+510/17=x
531/17=x
X=31 4/17
First, Use the slope equation to find the slope of the line passing thru these two points:
m=rise/run
Here, the rise is 13-3, or 10, and the run is 7-2, or 5. Thus, the slope, m, is 10/5, or 2: m=2.
We want the slope-intercept form, so let's begin with its general form:
y=mx+b. Substitute the slope 2 for m: y=2x+b. Now choose either of the given points. Arbitrarily I am choosing (2,3). Then x=2 and y=3.
Substituting these values into y=2x+b: 3 = 2(2) + b, or b= 3 -4, or b = -1.
Then the equation of this line, in slope-intercept form, is y = 2x - 1.
8n- (2n-3) =12
8n-2n= 12+3
6n=15
n= 2.5
Hope this helps :)
