(-1,1)(1,4)
slope = (4 - 1) / (1 - (-1) = 3/(1 + 1) = 3/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/2
use either of ur points....(1,4)...x = 1 and y = 4
now sub and find b, the y int
4 = 3/2(1) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
4 - 3/2 = b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b
equation is y = 3/2x + 5/2...but we need it in standard form
y = 3/2x + 5/2
-3/2x + y = 5/2.....multiply both sides by -2
3x - 2y = -5 <==== ur standard form equation
The answer is -12
these are the steps on how to find that
-2x2y
-2(-3)2(y)
6 times -2
-12
Okay so basically it's like 4 to the power of 5 and like that and the • means multiply
If 12 = 2y, then y = 6. To solve this kind of equation, whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other, and it will remain equivalent. If you divide both sides by 2, you get 6 = y. Also, 2 * 6 = 12, a much easier way to find the answer.
