<span>Hello : let  A(5,-4)    B(-1,8)
the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(8+4)/(-1-5)  =-2
an equation is : y=ax+b     a is a slope</span>

y = -2x +b

 

the line through point  A(5,-4) :  -4= -2(5)+b<span>
<span>b = 6
the equation is : y =-2x+6</span></span>

Answer:

The first step is to find the gradient of the lines and the equation of the line is y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point 1 = (5,-4)

Point 2 = (-1,8)

Gradient, m = ∆y/∆x

∆y = y2 - y1

Where y2 = 8 and y1 = -4

∆y = 8 - -(4)

∆y = 8 + 4

∆y = 12

∆x = x2 - x1

Where x2 = -1 and x1 = 5

∆x = -1 - 5

∆x = -6

So, gradient, m = ∆y/∆x

m = 12/-6

m = -2

Calculating the equation of the line;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Or

y - y2 = m(x - x2)

Using any of the coordinates

Using first coordinate;

Point 1 = (5,-4)

x1 = 5 and y1 = -4

y - y1 = m(x - x1) becomes

y - -4 = -2(x - 5)

y + 4 = -2x + 10

Make y the subject of formula

y = -2x + 10 - 4

y = -2x + 6

Using the second coordinates

Point 2 = (-1,8)

Where y2 = 8 and x2 = -1

y - y2 = m(x - x2) becomes

y - 8 = -2(x - (-1))

y - 8 = -2(x + 1) -- open bracket

y - 8 = -2x -2 -- make y the subject of formula

y = -2x - 2 + 8

y = -2x + 6

Hence, the equation of the line is

y = -2x + 6

Eight more then seventimes a number (x) is atleast twenty nine
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:A number increased by seventeen is equal to seventy-three. x + 17 = 73

Some number decreased by seven is thirty-three. x - 7 = 33

A number increased by twelve is forty. x + 12 = 40

A number increased by fifteen is sixty-two. x + 15 = 62

Eight less than a number is nine. x - 8 = 9

A number divided by 11 is 4. x/11 = 4

Seven more than three times a number is 19. 3x + 7 = 19

Four more than five times a number is thirty-six. 5x + 4 = 35

Eight less than nine times a number is eleven. 9x - 8 = 11

Twelve more than four times a number is seven. 4x + 12 = 7

Seven more than triple a number is fifteen. 3x + 7 = 15

Seven times a number increased by eight equals twenty-three. 7x + 8 = 23

Eight more than six times a numbers is eleven. 6x + 8 = 11

Nine times a number increased by thirteen is twelve. 9x + 13 = 12

The quotient of a number and four is seventeen. x/4 = 17

A number increased by seven is twenty-five. x + 7 = 25

Fifty-five is the sum of a number and sixteen. x + 16 = 55

The product of a number and eleven is seventy-five. 11x = 75

Eight times a number increased by eleven is thirty-seven. 8x + 11 = 37

The difference of a number and twelve is thirty-four. x - 12 = 34
