(5,2) and (-1,-6)

Slope = (2 + 6)/(5 + 1) = 8/6 = 4/3

Point-slope equation form:

y - 2 = 4/3(x - 5)

Hope that helps.

What is the point-slope form given the following slope and a point on the line? m = 3/7 , (7, -4)

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The equation is y = (3/7)x - 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the point slope form of an equation is y = mx + b where m represents the gradient and b is the y-intercept. Then, you have to substitute the following values into the equation :

$y = mx + b$

$let \: m = \frac{3}{7} ,x = 7,y = - 4$

$- 4 = \frac{3}{7} (7) + b$

$- 4 = 3 + b$

$- 4 - 3 = b$

$b = - 7$

Answer:

Length = 12 inches, height = 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to set up a proportion. 2/7, x/42.

Then, you cross multiply and get the setup of 84=7x

Finally, you divide 84 by 7 and get 12.

12 is the length, and there is no other answer that has 12 in the height. You could just do the same proportion to get 3, though.
