How do I delete my comment. ( I clicked on this thinking it was another question)
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise/run
This gets you -5/4
Find the y intercept, which is at (0, 3)
This means the equation will be:
y = -5/4x + 3
Answer:
point-slope form: y - 1 = -4/5(x - 8)
slope-intercept form: y = -4/5x + 7.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Find slope using the points (8, 1) and (-2, 9):
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
= (9 - 1) / (-2 - 8)
= 8 / -10
m = -4/5
Find y-intercept using slope m from above and anyone of the given points, let's use (8, 1):
y = mx + b
1 = -4/5(8) + b
1 = -6.4 + b
b = 7.4
Use slope m and y-intercept b above to form equation of line in slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
y = -4/5x + 7.4
For point slope form use slope m from above and a point, again let's use (8, 1):
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 1 = -4/5(x - 8)
Y= -x + 2 and y= 3x - 4
As these both equal y, you know that they both equal each other so
-x + 2 = 3x - 4
Third option :)
Answer: the equation is zero in the middle. The rest of your numbers are around the graph.
