Y=-2x would be the answer.

Answer:

y=-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know linear functions can be in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b.

we are given the point (1,-2) so x=1 y=-2 and m=-2 because the slope is -2

so lets plug that into the slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

-2=-2(1)+b  multiply

-2=-2+b   add two on both sides

0=b

so it has the form y=-2x+0 aka y=-2x

50+10(8*1)+2<br> What property do you use to solve this and how.
MissTica
You need to use PEMDAS
So first you do the parenthesis.
8*1=8.
So now re-write the problem.
50+10*8+2
Now you are going to multiply.
10*=80
Now re-write the problem again. 
10+80+2
10+80=90+2=92
So the answer to this problem is 92.

The coordinates of A and B are (3k, 8) and (k, -3) respectively. Given that the gradient of the line segment AB is 3, find the v
Vladimir [108]

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = slope or several other words.

it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.

it is represented by the ratio

(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)

when going from one point on the line to another.

in our case, when going from A to B we have

x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).

y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).

so, the gradient or slope is

-11/-2k = 3

11/2k = 3

11 = 3×2k = 6k

k = 11/6

A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)

B = (11/6, -3)
