Answer:

<h3>y = - 1/2x - 1/2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope

c is the y intercept

Slope of the line using points

(1, -1) and (-3, 1) is

m =  \frac{1 + 1}{ - 3 - 1}  =  -  \frac{2}{4}  =  -  \frac{1}{2}

Equation of the line using point

( 1 , - 1) and slope - 1/2 is

y + 1 =  -  \frac{1}{2} (x - 1) \\ y + 1 =  -  \frac{1}{2} x +  \frac{1}{2}  \\ y =   - \frac{ 1}{2} x +  \frac{1}{2}  - 1 \\ y =  -  \frac{1}{2} x -  \frac{1}{2}

Hope this helps you.

I don’t know how to make a rule:(
Yuri [45]

Answer:

*assuming you know the concept of proportionality*

since L is directly proportional to T, an increase in L will result in an increase in T

so the solution of the first part is increases

in part 2, y is inversely proportional to x

which means that an increase in y will result in a decrease in x and vice-versa

So the answer of the second part is decreases

in part 3, since x is directly proportional to y, an increase in x will result in an increase in y

Well, mode is the number that occurs most, so the answer would be 7, since that is the most appearing number.

Find the equation of a line given the point and slope (1,3) m=3
ELEN [110]
Simple....

we know the formula you need to use is y=mx+b....

plug 'n chug....

3=3(1)+b

3=3+b
-3   -3
b=0

Thus.....y=3x


Thus, your answer.
