Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

L: y= -4x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line L to pass through two points, we use the slope formula to calculate the slope, m, where

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

= (9-1) / (2-4)

= 8 / -2

= -4

Next we use the point slope form to find the line equation:

L: (y-y1) = m (x-x1)

substitute (x1,y1) = (4,1)

L: y-1 = -4 (x-4)

Simplify:

L: y = -4x + 16 + 1

L: y= -4x + 17

Check: substitute (4,1)

y = -4(4)+17 = 1  checks

substitute (2,9)

y = -4(2)+17 = 9 checks

so

L: y= -4x + 17

Answer 2

Answer:

y is equal to 5 and x is equal to 11
