The equation of the line can be shown using the slope intercept form that is

y= mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

So firstly we have to find the value of slope m

To find the value of slope m we apply the formula

m= \frac{( y_{2} - y_{1})}{( x_{2} - x_{1})}

So we can plug the values using the two given points

(-0.5,0.75) and (0.75,-0.5)

m= \frac{(-0.5-0.75) }{(0.75-(-0.5))} = \frac{-1.25}{1.25} = -1

So m = -1

Plug m=-1 in the equation we get

y= -1x +b

Now we have to find the value of b

to find the value of b , we plug any one pint in the equation

0.75 = -1(-0.5) +b

0.75 = 0.5 +b

Subtract 0.5 from both sides

0.25 = b

or

b= 0.25

Now plug the value of b , in the equation

we get

y = -1x +0.25

hence the equation of the line is y = -1x +0.25

1, I cannot fail this if I do I have a F in math!! Please make sure u know it’s correct I can’t do it alone.

Answer:One way of knowing the correct answers, we substitute the ordered pairs to the function and see whether it would make the function true.

3x – 4y = 21

A. (−3, 3)

3(-3) – 4(3) = 21

-21 = 21 ---------------> not equal

B. (−1, −6)

3(-1) – 4(-6) = 21

21 = 21 ---------------> equal

C. (7, 0)

3(7) – 4(0) = 21

21 = 21 ---------------> equal

D. (11, 3)

3(11) – 4(3) = 21

21 = 21 ---------------> equal
