The straight line joining the points A(3,-5) and B(6,k) has a gradient of 4.

Gradient is the slope

So the slope of the line joining the points A(3,-5) and B(6,k) is 4

Slope of line joining two points = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

A(3,-5) and B(6,k) are (x1,y1)  and (x2,y2)

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

slope = \frac{k-(-5)}{6-3}=\frac{k+5)}{3}

We know slope =4

 \frac{k+5)}{3}=4

Cross multiply  and solve for k

k + 5 = 12

k = 7

The value of k = 7

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line.
rewona [7]

Answer:

y=-\frac{8}{3} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

You are given 8x + 3y = -9, so to convert this into slope-intercept form you would solve for y and rearrange the terms (if needed) to follow the format of mx + b.

Start by subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation.

3y = -9 - 8x

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.

y = -3 - 8/3x

Rearrange the terms so the "x" variable is first.

y = -8/3x - 3

I don’t know. I think I’m doing something wrong. Answer the highlighted questions and show work.

12) -5k - 19 = 5 - 13k

-5k = 24 - 13k

8k = 24

k = 3


14) -15n + 16 = 86 - 29n

-15n = 70 - 29n

14n = 70

n = 5


16) 13 - 3p = -5(3 + 2p)

13 - 3p = -15 - 10p

-3p = -28 - 10p

7p = -28

p = -4


18) 14a - 93 = 49 - 57a

14a = 142 - 57a

71a = 142

a = 2


20) 8v = 2(4v + 2)

8v = 8v + 4

No solution


22) 2(-4h - 13) = 37 + 13h

-8h - 26 = 37 + 13h

-8h = 63 + 13h

-21h = 63

h = -3


24) 11n - 3 = 9 + 5n

6n = 12

n = 2


26) -9n - 12 = 8 - 4n

-5n - 12 = 8

-5n = 20

n = -4
