Answer:
y = (-3/2)x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = -4 (rearrange to slope intercept form y = mx + b)
2y = -3x - 4
y = (-3/2) x - 2
comparing this to the general form of a linear equation : y = mx + b
we see that slope of this line (and every line that is parallel to this line),
m = -3/2
if we sub this back in to the general form, we get:
y = (-3/2)x + b
We are still missing the value of b. To find this, we are given that the point (4,1) lies on the line. We simply substitute this back into the equation and solve for b.
1 = (-3/2)4 + b
1 = -6 + b
b = 7
substituting this back into the equation:
y = (-3/2)x + 7
Answer:y = -3x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find an equation of a line that passes through two points, we have to first find the slope between the two equation. We can do this by using the slope formula:
where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points that we are finding the slope between.
Lets make (x₁, y₁) equal to (0, 10) and (x₂, y₂) equal to (3, 1). Now we plug them into the slope formula:
So the slope between the two points is -3.
From here, I would normally take one of the points given to us and plug in the point and slope into the point-slope form of a line and then simplify until we get it in slope-intercept form. But if you look carefully, the y-intercept is given to us as the point (0, 10). So we now know that the y-intercept of the line is 10. We can now take the y-intercept and the slope and plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line to get out equation:
y = mx + b
plug in -3 for m (the slope) and 10 for b (the y-intercept)
y = -3x + 10
So now we have our equation.
I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)
