(-2,-11);slope=4 write the equation of the line
2 answers:
Answer: y = 4x-3
slope = 4, y intercept = -3
=================================================
m = 4 is the slope
is the point the line goes through
Using point slope form, we can say,
The equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b
m = 4 = slope
b = -3 = y intercept
------------------------
As an alternative, you can use y = mx+b to get the same answer. We'll plug in m = 4 and (x,y) = (-2,-11) to solve for b
y = mx+b
-11 = 4(-2)+b
-11 = -8+b
-11+8 = -8+b+8
-3 = b
b = -3 we get the same y intercept value as above
------------------------
To check the answer, plug x = -2 into the equation. We should get y = -11
y = 4x-3
y = 4(-2)-3
y = -8-3
y = -11 we get the proper y value. The answer is confirmed.

That’s easy just place 2.4 on top of 1.5 and do the math, I did it in the picture for you, since there are two decimal points one in 2.4 and the second in 1.5. So the answer is 3.60 as shown in the pic. Any questions ? Sorry the picture is sort of messed
