Hey there!

Use the slope formula.

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the points. (-4,5) and (4,1)

m= (1-5)/(4-(-4)

m= -4/4+4

m=-4/8

m=-1/2

To find the y-intercept, first plug it into the the point slope. You just need one set of points for this, I will use (4,1)

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1= -1/2(x-4)

y-1=-1/2x+2

Add 1 to the other side.

y= -1/2x+3

The 3 is your y-intercept. It is in slope intercept form now. (y=mx+b) The b is the y-intercept.

The equation of the line is usually represented by the slope intercept form, which you already have: y=-1/2x+3.

I hope this helps!

elixir [45]

Answer:

The equation of the line passing through the above points is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{29}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points are: $(x_1,y_1)=(1,14)\textrm{ and }(x_2,y_2)=(9,10)$

The equation of a line when two points are given is:

$y-y_1=\left (\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \right )(x-x_1)$

Plug in all the values and simplify.

$y-14=\left (\frac{10-14}{9-1} \right )(x-1)\\y-14=\left (\frac{-4}{8} \right )(x-1)\\y-14=-\frac{1}{2}(x-1)\\y-14=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}+14\\\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{29}{2}$

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the above points is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{29}{2}$

Answer:

megaflicks would be the better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

22.50 divided into 3 months would be 7.50

43.50 divided into 6 months would be 7.25

Meaning that you'd pay less every month with megaflicks.

Question 1

Airida [17]

Answer:

a) There are Total 25 Question on the test.

Each question is worth 4 points.

b) Your friend answered 19 questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Question answered =24

Percent earn = 96%

Total point test = 100

We will first solve for part a.

We need to find Total Question on the test and Points worth each question.

Now We know that percent earn is equal to Question answered divided by Total Question on test and ten multiplied by 100.

Framing in equation form we get;

$Percent\ earn = \frac{\textrm{Question Answered}}{\textrm{Total question on test}}\times 100\\ \\\textrm{Total question on test} = \frac{\textrm{Question Answered}}{\textrm{Perecent earned}}\times 100$
