First, start off with the x-axis. -6.5, 1 becomes 6.5, 1. This is because point T is 6.5 to the left of the x-axis line, so our new point would be 6.5 to the right of the x-axis line. Same thing for the y-axis, (6.5, 1) would become (6.5, -1).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(1) 2 (2) (-1/2,0) (3) (0,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line is the number times x. This equation is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, m is 2, so we have our slope. The y-intercept is easy, as we already know it to be (0,1). The x-intercept is the point where the line hits x when y=0. To solve for the x-intercept, we set y to 0 and solve. We have 0=2x+1. First, we subtract 1 from both sides and get -1=2x. Next, to get x by itself, divide both sides by 2. Now we have -1/2=x. Now we have our x coordinate for our x-intercept. Because of this, we get (-1/2,0) as our x-intercept.
We know that the slope formula is m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Your points are: (3, 7) and (4, -8)
In this case,
x1 = 3
x2 = 4
y1 = 7
y2 = -8
Now, just plug in the numbers:
m = (7 - -8)/(3-4)
m = 15/-1
m = -15
Your slope is -15.
