Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.

\frac{-1-7}{3-4}

Which reduces to 8/1=8.

The slope of your equation is 8.

Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.

Plug the slope in:

y=8x+b.

Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).

-1=8(3)+b

-1=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides.

-25=b

Now plug this into the equation!

y=8x-25 is your final equation.

I hope this helps :)

X2 - 49 = 0 solve for x
Bogdan [553]

x^2 - 49 = 0

Add 49 to both sides:

x^2 = 49

Take the square root of both sides:

X = 7

How many solutions does the system have?
sertanlavr [38]
If a solution(s) exists y=y so we can say:

x^2-3x=-2x+2  add 2x to both sides

x^2-x=2  subtract 2 from both sides

x^2-x-2=0  factor

(x-2)(x+1)=0

So x=-1 and 2, using y=-2x+2 we find:

y(-1)=4 and y(2)=-2

So the two solutions occur at the points:

(-1,4) and (2,-2)
