<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -1/7x - 1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the slope-intercept form with the information that is given.

Slope intercept form is represented as y = mx + b

In this case, we know that the points are at:

  • (7,-2)
  • (0,-1)

With the information above, we can solve the problem.

In order to find the slope, we would use the slope equation.

Slope equation:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

To use this slope equation, we would need to plug in the points from the coordinates into the equation. Your equation should look like this:

m=\frac{-1--2}{0-7}

Now, you solve to find the slope of the line.

m=\frac{-1--2}{0-7} =\frac{1}{-7} =-\frac{1}{7}

When you're done solving, you should get -1/7.

This means that the slope of the line is -1/7. We would plug 9 in our "m" variable.

Your slope intercept form should look like this:

y = -1/7x + b

For our "b" variable, it's going to be the beginning point. When we look at our (0,-1) coordinate, we would know that -1 would be our beginning point, sicne thje 0 is on the x and there's a variable for the y.

Your slope intercept form should look like this:

y = -1/7x - 1

This means that the slope intercept form of the line is y = -1/7x - 1

<h3>I hope this helps you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>

Answer:

The equation is y=(-1/7)x+-1 or y=(-1/7)x-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept for is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

You are given (7,-2) and (0,-1).

Line them up and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference:

( 7, -2)

-(0 , -1)

-----------

7      -1

So the slope is -1/7.

Now we know our equation is in the form

y=(-1/7)x+b.

Use one of the points you are given along with y=(-1/7)x+b to find b.

I'm choosing (0,-1) to plug in for (x,y):

-1=(-1/7)(0)+b

-1=0+b

-1=b

So the equation is y=(-1/7)x+-1 or y=(-1/7)x-1.

Hey guys can you answer this one question real quick
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

a. 1/5

b. (3, 3/5)

c. 1/5x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: (x, y)

0.5 = 1/2

(1/2, 1/10) = 1/10 ÷ 1/2 = 1/10 • 2 = 1/5, you can divide y/x = constant of proportionality. 1/10 ÷ 1/2.

1 2/5 = 7/5

(7, 7/5) = 7/5 ÷ 7 = 7/5 • 1/7 = 1/5, y/x = constant of proportionality. 7/5 ÷ 7.

  • a. 1/5 is the constant of proportionality
  • b. (3, 3/5) because 3/5 ÷ 3 or 3/5 • 1/3 = 1/5.
  • c. 1/5x = y

Matt and Tikka thought of the same number. Matt added 7 to that number and then doubled the result. He got 26. Tikka did the sam
Reptile [31]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Matt ended up with 26.

We reverse the steps he did to get the original number that both people thought of.

26 / 2 = 13

13 - 7 = 6

6 is the original number.

Tikka did the same operations but in the reverse order so...

6 X 2 = 12

12 + 7 = 19
