Find the slope m.

m = (-3 -2)/(4 - (-1))

m = -5/(4 + 1)

m = -5/5

m = -1

Plug the slope and one of the points into the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

y - 2 = -1(x -(-1))

y - 2 = -1(x + 1)

The goal is to isolate y.

y - 2 = -x - 1

y = -x - 1 + 2

y = -x + 1

The answer is choice d.

Do you understand what I did here?

Answer:

\boxed{d. \quad y = -x  + 1}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

The line passes through the points (-1, 2) and (4, -3)

(a) Calculate the slope of the line

\begin{array}{rcl}m & = & \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\ & = & \dfrac{-3 - 2 }{4 - (-1)}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-5}{5}\\\\& = & -1\\\end{array}

(b) Find the y-intercept

Insert the coordinates of one of the points into the equation

\begin{array}{rcl}y & = & mx + b\\-3 & = & (-1)4 + b \\-3 & = & -4 + b\\b & = & 1\\\end{array}

(c) Write the equation

The y-intercept is at x = 1.

\text{The equation for the line is $\boxed{\mathbf{y = -x  + 1}}$}

The diagram shows the graph of the line passing through the two points with slope = -1.

Algebra applications: find the value of x and y​
Inga [223]

Answer : The value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we known that if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line then consecutive interior angles are supplementary.

From the given figure we conclude that:

5x-y+150=180       ...........(1)

5x-y=180-150

5x-y=30      ............(2)

5x+y+130=180       ...........(3)

5x+y=180-130

5x+y=50        ...........(4)

Now we adding equation 2 and 4, we get the value of x.

5x-y+5x+y=30+50

10x=80

x=8

Now we are putting the value of x in 4, we get the value of y.

5x+y=50

5(8)+y=50

y=50-40

y=10

Therefore, the value of x and y is 8 and 10 respectively.

Use the relationship between the angles in the figure to answer the question Which equation can be used to find the value of x?
dusya [7]

Answer:

x + 49 + 28 = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle adjacent to x on the left is vertically opposite 49° and is congruent.

The 3 angles then lie on a straight line and sum to 180° , that is

x + 49 + 28 = 180
