Find the slope intercept form of the liner function using the points (-6,6) and (-2,4) Show all work
1 answer:
y = - x + 3
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 4 )
m = =
= -
y = - x + c is the partial equation
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (- 2, 4 ), then
4 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 1 = 3
y = - x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
The fourth root of x is the same as x^(1/4)
I.e,
The same applies to x^10 as well
Multiply the exponents 10 and 1/4 to get 10/4
-----------------------
If we have an expression in the form x^(m/n), with m > n, then we can simplify it into an equivalent form as shown below
The 'a' and 'b' are found through dividing m/n
m/n = a remainder b
'a' is the quotient, b is the remainder
-----------------------
The general formula can easily be confusing, so let's replace m and n with the proper numbers. In this case, m = 10 and n = 4
m/n = 10/4 = 2 remainder 2
We have a = 2 and b = 2
So
turns into
which means
