To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.
m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3
b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.
Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0
So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.
Yes, I do. They are making large transactions without knowing if they will invest anything, and yes, while it is sometimes necessary to take risks, they are not thinking enough about the future and how if they make another mistake everything could go downhill. They also live in the lap of luxury, not cutting out a bit of the money which they w=could be using to repay the debts they owe.
Answer:
y = 2
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x + 5y = 10 | ×3 |
3x - 3y = 21 | ×4 |
12x + 15y = 30
12x - 12y = 84
____________--
27y = -54
y = -54/27
y = 2
4x + 5y = 10 | ×3 |
3x - 3y = 21 | ×5 |
12x + 15y = 30
15x - 15y = 105
____________+
27x = 135
x = 135/27
x = 5
Y + 3 = x - 1
- 3 - 3
y = x - 4
The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is y = x - 4.
