Answer:

slope = $\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ )= (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{4-0}{3+2}$ = $\frac{4}{5}$

9) Which equation represents the line that passes through the point (3,4) and is parallel to the x-axis?

kobusy [5.1K]

Since the line is parallell to the x-axis we know the slope is zero: $m=0$

Using the point-slope formula we can substitute know values:
$y=mx+b$
$4=0(3)+b$
$b=4$
$y=0x+4$
$y=4$

You could also jsut do it by inspection: since it passes through (3,4) and is horizontal it must cross at (0,4) i.e. all y=4.

---------------------------------------
Slope :
---------------------------------------
y = -5x + 2
Slope = -5

---------------------------------------
y - intercept :
---------------------------------------
At (0. 3), y-intercept = 3

---------------------------------------
Equation :
---------------------------------------
y = mx + b
y = -5x + 3
