They would be identical so it would be 114
To form an equation with the given information, we use the formula :
y = mx + b, m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.
Since it is given that the slope is -9/7, we substitute m with -9/7.
y = -9/7x + b
To find b, we will substitute the known coordinates into the equation :
At point (-7 , 4), x = -7, y = 4
4 = -9/7 (-7) + b
4 = 9 + b
b = 4 - 9
b = -5
Now we know that b = -5, we will substitute b = -5 into the equation that we found earlier, y = -9/7 x + b :
y = - 9/7x - 5
To make it more readable, we can multiply the equation by 7:
7y = -9x - 5
7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : 7y + 9x + 5 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------------
If solving for x you will first need to combine like terms. Then after getting the amount of numbers and amount of x numbers you will divide the x number from both. After doing that you would get X=-10
Positive 2 is your slope, (rise over run) if you have to graph it and -1 is your y-intercept
Answer:
-5.7
Step-by-step explanation:
OUR EQUATION IS A QUADRATIC EQUATION
Let Δ be our dicriminant :
- a= 1
- b= 5
- c= -4
- Δ= 5²-4*1*(-4) =25 +16 =41≥0
- so we have two solutions x and y
- x= (-5-√41)/2 = -5.7
