Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 1 + 3x ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Answer:

The slope is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -1 + 3x Rearranging:

y = 3x - 1

Compare this with the general form y = mx + c:

m = the slope = 3.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (−2, 1) and (1, 10)?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

3x - y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = deltay/deltax

m = (10 - 1)/[( 1 - (-2)]

m = 9/3 = 3

y = 3x + b

From (-2 | 1) we see that when x = -2, y = 1

Placing into the equation, in order to find b (y-intercept)

y = 3x + b

1 = 3(-2) + b

b = 7

y = 3x + 7 or 3x - y = -7

What is the slope of the line?

erik [133]

Down 3 over 1
aka -3 is the slope
Your first point is (1,4) The second is (2,1). Use the formula
y-y
x-x = slope
4-1
1-2 = slope
3
-1
3/-1 equal to -3

5x^2-2x=2 help plsmmm

Answer:

Presumably you're solving for x here? Without further information we'll assume that.

With that in mind, x is approximately equal to 0.86 and -0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by putting it in the usual ax² + bx + c format.

$5x^2- 2x = 2\\5x^2 - 2x - 2 = 0\\$

let's solve it. First we'll multiply both sides by five, making the first term a perfect square:

$25x^2 - 10x - 10 = 0\\$

Now we'll add 11 to both sides:

$25x^2 - 10x + 1 = 11\\$

Which makes the left side a perfect square:

$(5x - 1)^2 = 11$

And now we can solve for x:

$(5x - 1)^2 = 11\\\\5x - 1 = \sqrt{11} \\\\5x = 1 + \sqrt{11}\\\\x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}$

Note that there's no apparent way of drawing the ± symbol when editing equations, so take that + sign as actually being ±.

That gives us two answers:

$x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 + 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{4.32}5\\\\x \approx 0.86$ $x = \frac{1 - \sqrt{11}}{5}\\\\x \approx \frac{1 - 3.32}5\\\\x \approx \frac{-2.32}5\\\\x \approx -0.46$

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (3,4) and (-4, -3)?

azamat

Answer:

y=x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the slope

m=-3-4/-4-3

m=-7/-7

m=1

2) Use y=mx+c

by using the point (3,4)

4=1(3)+c

4=3+c

c=1

3) The answer

y=x+1
