54/52 is the answer or you could reduce it to 27/26
Answer:
dude i tried so hard i keep getting da same answer its timing me to do it so ima put da answer in comments
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two points: (4, -8) and (8, 5)
General equation of a line: y = mx + c
First find m (the gradient). There is a formula for this: (change in y)/(change in x) = gradient
(5 - -8) / (8 - 4) = (13) / (4) = 3.25 = m
y = 3.25x + c
Now we need to find c (the y-intercept; the value of y when x=0).
Substitute in any one of the coordinates - let's use (8, 5)
(5) = 3.25(8) + c
(5) = 26 + c
c = -21
The equation of the line: y = 3.25x - 21
I think that this answer is correct - sorry if it seems rushed.
Hope this answer helps :)
The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
