Answer:

y = -4x + 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = (-1-7)/(4-2)

= -8/2

= -4.  

So we have:

y = -4x + b  

To find b, we plug in the point (2, 7):

7 =  -4(2) + b

b = 7+8 = 15.

So the equation is

y = -4x + 15.

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.

Y = coordinate y.

M = Slope

X = coordinate x.

B = y-intercept.

Slope formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

Plug in: (-1 - 7) / (4 - 2) = -4.

We can just insert the pair (2,7) as our x and y to solve b.

7 = -4(2) + b.

Solve for b.

7 = -8 + b.

-b = -8 -7

-b = -15

b = 15.

Original equation:

y = mx + b

y = -4x + 15

Write the equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and has a slope of 2 in point-slope form
raketka [301]

Answer:

y-3= 2(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The equation of a line in point slope form is y-y1= m(x-x1)

2. m=slope and (x1,y1) is the point the line passes through

3. The point the line passes through is (1,3)

4, The slope is 2

5. Therefore the answer is y-3=2(x-1)

A messenger earns 2640 per year and pays tax at the rate of 10k On a naira how much tax does he pay in the year
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

264 naira

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount earned per year = 2460

Rate of interest paid : 10k per naira earned

Tax paid by messenger per year :

100k = 1 naira

10k = (100/10) = 0.1 naira

Hence 0.1 naira is paid as tax on every naira earned

Total amount paid on 2640 Naira :

Amount paid per naira * total amount earned

(0.1 * 2640) = 264 naira
