Answer:
y=-3x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b is the formula you are going to end up once completed.
This, by given two points:
(4,-5) (3,-2)
= Point-Slope Intercept Form
= After subtracting both from above
-3 = is your slope, decreasing.
Substitute -3 for y=mx+b
y=-3x+b
Use one of the given points (any) to find what b equals.
(4,-5)
x y
-5=-3(4)+b
-5= -12+b
7=b
Final Equation:
y=-3x+7
Answer:
Value of x =20
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: EF = 9x+14 units , FG = 56 units and EG = 250 units.
Segment Addition Postulates states the following for 3 points that are collinear.
i.e, Let three points A, B and C are collinear and B is between A and C.
i,e AC = AB + BC
By Segment addition postulates; solve for x;
EG = EF + FG
Substitute the given values we get;
250 = 9x + 14 + 56
or
250 = 9x + 70
Subtract 70 on both sides we get;
250 -70 = 9x + 70 -70
Simplify:
180 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9 we get;
Simplify:
x = 20
Therefore, the value of x =20
