Answer:
y= x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a point, and the slope, we can use the point slope formula
m is the slope, y1 is the y coordinate of the point and x1 is the x coordinate of the point.
We know that m is 1, y1 is 1, and x1 is 5, so we can substitute them in
y-1=1(x-5)
Solve for y by isolating it
Distribute the 1
y-1=1*x+ 1*-5
y-1=x-5
Add 1 to both sides
y=x-4
25 divided by 60 would be .416 repeating, rounded to .417
60 divided by 25 would be 2.4
We have a line passing through 3 points. We can use the first
two points to find the equation of the line.
(6,3), (8,4)
slope m = (4-3)/(8-6) = 1/2
We can use the point slope form y-y1 = m(x-x1) or
the slope intercept form y = mx + b
to find the equation of the line.
Let's take the point (6,3) and use y = mx + b to find b
y = 3, x = 6, m = 1/2
3 = (1/2)(6) + b
3 = 3 + b
0 = b
The equation of our line is y = (1/2)x
We have a line of equation y = (1/2)x going through point (n,-2)
Plugging in we have: -2 = (1/2)n
2(-2) = n
-4 = n
Your answer is n = -4
NOTE: looking at the 3 points as given initially: (6,3), (8,4), (n,-2)
We can see that 3 = (1/2)6 and 4 = (1/2)8 so -2 = (1/2)n makes sense
Hope this helps you :)
Y=-2 for the problem
hope this helps
