Answer: y+3=-2(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let’s find the slope. To do that just do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Substitute: (-3-2)/(3-2)= -5.

second, we want to put it in y=mx+b form so choose which coordinates you want to work with. Let’s say (2,1). So, 1=-5(2)+b

*(the one represents the y value, the -5 is slope and 2 is the x value)*

now just solve for b. b= 11

so the equation is: y=-5x+11

now, you can solve for the choices (I mean put them in y=Mx+b form) or just substitute in the coordinates to see which equation will work. In this case for choice w if we do 1+3=-2(2-4), that will be the answer.

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find the slope

y2-y1/x2-x1

-3-1=-4

4-2=2

=-2-------this is our slope

point slope equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+3=-2(x-4)

Answer:

a (-4/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it is a because in the chart where x is shown all the values are increasing by positive 4 and in the chart where y is displayed it is decreasing by -3.

4/-3 or -4/3

a rectangle has a side length 2x+9 and side width x. If the perimeter is 36 cm, what is the value of x?
alukav5142 [94]
2(2x + 9) + 2(x) = 36

4x + 18 + 2x = 36

Combine like terms.

6x + 18 = 36

Subtract 18 from both sides.

6x = 18

Divide 6 on both sides.

x = 3

Hope this helps!
