Okay, let me just make this a little clearer. Hopefully, this is what you meant:
A. y - 8 = -4(x + 4)
B. y - 8 = 4(x + 4)
C. y + 8 = 4(x - 4)
D. y + 8 = -4(x - 4)
--
This can also be written as y2 - y1 = m(x2 - x1).
Your M is your slope.
Both A and D have their m as a negative 4. Because you are looking for a positive slope, immediately cancel those answers.
* note that you could have also put them in a more standard form and discovered m which is the x in bx.
Now, you are looking for an equation that contains (4,-8).
Because it is written as y2-y1, your y's are actually points if you were to find another slope or something. This part is a bit hard to explain, but -8 is only found in the y coordinate place in answer B. Your answer would be B. For more explanation on that, there's this great site called coolmath.com and if you search for finding the equation of two points, it explains it much better on there, but I would not want to plagiarize.
The answer is B.
Answer:
slope= -3
y-intercept= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Approach
To solve this problem, one needs the slope and the y-intercept. First, one will solve for the slope, using the given points, then input it into the equation of a line in slope-intercept form. The one can solve for the y-intercept.
2.Solve for the slope
The formula to find the slope of a line is;
Where (m) is the variable used to represent the slope.
Use the first two given points, and solve;
(1, 3), (2, 0)
Substitute in,
Simplify;
3. Put equation into slope-intercept form
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is;
Where (m) is the slope, and (b) is the y-intercept.
Since one solved for the slope, substitute that in, then substitute in another point, and solve for the parameter (b).
Substitute in point (3, -3)
Answer:
v = 66/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
-7v + 3 = -63
Step 2: Solve for <em>v</em>
<u>Subtract 3 on both sides:</u> -7v = -66
<u>Divide both sides by -7:</u> v = 66/7
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.</em>
-7(66/7) + 3 = -63
-66 + 3 = -63
-63 = -63
