(4,-2) and (24,-17) finding the slope from points

Mathematics

Romashka [77]3 years ago

Use the equation for the slope:
slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
The two points are equal to (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). 

So choose one of your points to be (x1, y1). Let's choose (4, -2). That means x1 = 4 and y1 = -2.
The other point would then be (x2, y2). So x2 = 24 and y2 = -17.

Now put these values in to the equation:
Slope = \frac{-17-(-2)}{24-4} =  \frac{-15}{20}  =  \frac{-3}{4}

The slope is -3/4.

Write the equation of a line, in SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM, that is perpendicular to the given equation and passes through the given
adoni [48]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope interception formula is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

where m is m=y-y1/x-x1 in this case m=-2 because the line we are trying to find is parallel to the given one y=-2x-6 where slope k=-2

so the final equation would be

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

y-1=-2x-2*4

y=-2x-8+1=-2x-7
