What is the slope-intercept form of the equation y - 7= -5/2(x+4)

1 answer:

4 0

The first thing I would probably do is distribute (multiply) the -5/2 into the parenthesis:

= (-5/2)x + (-20/2)

Notice how I am not putting the x into the fraction. This is to make it easier to see the slope-intercept form.

Lets simplify the (-20/2) and then add 7 to both sides:

y - 7 = (-5/2)x - 10

y = (-5/2)x - 3

Your answer would then be:

y = (-5/2)x - 3

y = mx + b

Since it is now in the requested format.

Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1, –5) and (3, –17)? y = negative 6 x + 1 y = 6 x + 1 y = negativ

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Using y = mx + c

slope = -17+5/3-1 = -12/2 = -6

Using point (1 , - 5)

y + 5 = -6(x - 1)

y + 5 = - 6x + 6

y = - 6x + 6 - 5

y = - 6x + 1

Hope this helps.

Please help and explain if you can. I don't get this stuff :/ (Will give brainiest answer is correct, if possible)

Gnoma [55]

To start off, you need to take the cube root of both sides of the equation.
$\sqrt[3]{x} = \frac{ \sqrt[3]{27} }{ \sqrt[n]{64} }$
The cube root of 27 is 3, and the cube root of 64 is 4.
The answer would then be x=3/4
