<u>Given:</u>

Given that the graph of a linear function.

We need to determine the equation of the graph in slope intercept form.

<u>Slope</u>:

Consider any two coordinates from the equation of the line to determine the slope.

Let the two coordinates are (-4,3) and (4,-1)

The slope can be determined using the formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the coordinates in the above formula, we get;

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

m=\frac{-4}{8}

m=-\frac{1}{2}

Thus, the slope of the equation is m=-\frac{1}{2}

<u>Value of y - intercept:</u>

The value of y - intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

Hence, from the graph, it is obvious that the value of y when x = 0 is 1.

Hence, the value of y - intercept is 1.

Thus, y - intercept is b=1

<u>Equation of the line:</u>

The equation of the line can be determined using the formula,

y=mx+b

Substituting the slope m=-\frac{1}{2} and the y - intercept b=1

Thus, we get;

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

Thus, the equation of the line is y=-\frac{1}{2}x+1

Answer:

∠P = 39º

∠Q=120º

∠R = 21º

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R=180º (sum of ∠s in a triangle)

2x-3+6x-6+x=180º (substitution)

9x-9=180º (algebra)

9x=189º (algebra)

x=21º (algebra) (this is ∠R)

(2x-3)=39º (algebra) (this is ∠P)

6x-6=120º (algebra) (this is ∠Q)

Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line perpendicular to y = –4x – 1 that passes through (–2, 7).
Harlamova29_29 [7]
To get a perpendicular line, your slopes will equal -1 when multiplied...this means if we multiply - 4 x (1/4), we get out slope to use for the next step.

Y - Y1 = M(X - X1)    passes through (-2, 7)
Y - 7 = 1/4(X - (-2))
Y - 7 = 1/4(X + 2)
Y - 7 = 1/4X + 1/2
   +7              + 7
Y = 1/4X + 7.5
