We have a slope of -3 and a point of (2,-1) so this line can be expressed as:

slope intercept form:  y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept...

y=-3x+b, using point (2,-1) we can solve for b

-1=-3(2)+b

-1=-6+b

b=5 so 

y=-3x+5

.....

We can also express this in point slope form:  (y-y1)=m(x-x1)  we know m=-3 and (x1,y1)=(2,-1)

(y+1)=-3(x-2)

....

Finally we can express the line is standard form:  ax+by=k

If we look at the y=mx+b that we had earlier we can simply rearrange it into standard form...

y=-3x+5  add 3x to both sides and we are done :P

3x+y=5

John wants to buy a new laptop computer the computer store sells laptops for $480 or 9 credit payments of $58 how much interest
Neko [114]
First you would need to find out how many 9 payments of 58$ would be and that is 522. Then you would need to subtract the 522 and the 480 and your answer would be 42$ so the interest would be 42$
