Answer:

y = $-\frac{4}{5}$ x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax + By = C is standard form of linear equation.

y - $y_{1}$ = m( x - $x_{1}$ )

y = mx + b is slope intercept form of linear equation.

Thus, to write the point-slope equation we have to have the coordinates of the point that given line is passing through!

I assume, that we have to re-write the standard form of linear equation into slope-intercept form. That's mean, we have to solve given equation for "y".

5y = - 4x + 20

y =  $-\frac{4}{5}$  x + 4

Answer:

y = -4/5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

4x + 5y = 20 ( subtract 4x on both sides)

5y = -4x + 20 (divide by 5 on each side)

y = -4/5x + 4

So we know one point is (0,4) y-intercept

now plug in (0,4)

y - 4 = -4/5(x-0) (Distribute -4/5 to x - 0)

y - 4 = -4/5x (now add 4 on each side)

y = -4/5x - 4

I need help finding the y-intercept of these, I am no good with slope and tables. ;-;

Answer:

1. -4

2. 6

3. -6

(i hope this is right •_•)

Step-by-step explanation:

First table

When the x coordinate is 0, that point is your y intercept. For the first one, your y intercept is -4.

Second table

For the second one, we need to do a bit of counting. We can see the x coordinates go before and after zero, but the table does not show us 0. So, we're going to have to calculate the slope. Bear with me here, I'm a little tired and this might be rambling ;-;

So, the formula for calculating slope is $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ . I'm going to use those first two points to get my slope. We're going to say the first point is point 1 and the second point is point 2 (genius, i know lol). So, let's substitute in the x and y values.

$\frac{9-12}{-3-(-6)}$

And simplify...

$\frac{-3}{3}$

So, your slope is -1. We can use that. We just have to count down.

If the x is -2, the y is 8. If the x is -1, the y is 7. And if the x is 0....(drumroll please) the y is 6! So, your y intercept is 6.

Third table

Now, this table isn't very nice either and doesn't have an x as 0 for us. Hmpf. But we can still do what we did above. I'll just skip the explanation and you can observe my steps.

$\frac{-3-(-5)}{9-3}$

$\frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

Let's count down....

If x = 3, y = -5

If x = 2, y = -5 1/3

If x = 1, y = -5 2/3

If x = 0, y = -6

Can someone please write this as a single logarithm and show work please and thank you

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

$log_b(w^3y^4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the expression as a single logarithm, or condense it, use the properties of logarithms.

1) The power property of logarithms states that $log_ax^r = rlog_ax$ . In other words, the exponent within a logarithm can be brought out in front so it's multiplied by the logarithm. This means that the number in front of the logarithm can also be brought inside the logarithm as an exponent.

So, in this case, we can move the 3 and the 4 inside the logarithms as exponents. Apply this property as seen below:

$3log_bw+4log_by\\=log_bw^3+log_by^4$

2) The product property of logarithms states that $log_axy = log_ax+log_ay$ . In other words, the logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of its factors. So, in this case, write the expression as a single logarithm by taking the log (keep the same base) of the product of $w^3$ and $y^4$ . Apply the property as seen below and find the final answer.
