You can use point-intercept formula, m=3/5, y1=-4, x1=2
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y+4=3/5(x-2)
y+4=(3/5)x-6/5
y=(3/5)x-6/5-4
y=(3/5)x-6/5-20/5
y=(3/5)x-26/5            or  y=0.6x - 5.2

Comment
The slope is just read, and the point is used to determine b in the general equation.

General Formula
y = mx + b

Givens
m = 3/5
b is derived from (2,-4)

Derivation
y = 3/5 x + b The slope is solved.

y = -4 when x = 2
-4 = 3/5 2 + b
-4 = 3*2/5 + b
-4 = 6/5 + b              Subtract 6/5 from both sides
-4 - 6/5 = b               Multiply top and bottom of 4 by 5 to bring it to a common denominator of 5
 \frac{-4*5}{1*5}-\frac{6}{5}=\text{b}
-26/5  = b

Final equation
y = 3/5 x - 26/5 <<<<<< answer

Just plug in the variables so you would have -(-3) - 4^2 / 4(-3) - (5-4). Next you solve it for 3 - 16 / -12 - 1, -13/-13 = 1. Your final answer is 1. If this is right could you possibly give me brainliest? Hope this helped.

Before calculators were around, why was it's advantageous to use logarithms to calculate roots
neonofarm [45]
Because logarithms were a lot less time-consuming than other methods of finding roots. They were also more accurate in the sense that it was harder to make a mistake.
