LenaWriter [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the points

  • (-1, -2)
  • (3, 4)

Determining the slope between (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:4\right)

m=\frac{4-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-1\right)}

m=\frac{3}{2}

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = 3/2

substituting m = 3/2 and the point (3, 4) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

4=\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b

switch sides

\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b=4

\frac{9}{2}+b=4

subtract 9/2 from both sides

\frac{9}{2}+b-\frac{9}{2}=4-\frac{9}{2}

b=-\frac{1}{2}

now substituting m = 3/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

What is the equation of this graphed line?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Slope Intercept form of the equation is y  = \frac{1}{3} x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  the two point line are given as  is A(-6,-3) and B(6,-7)

The slope of the line AB =  m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

m = \frac{-7-(-3)}{6-(-6)}   = \frac{-7 + 3}{6 + 6}   = \frac{4}{12} \\\implies m = \frac{1}{3}

⇒ the slope of AB  is m =  (4/3)

By SLOPE  INTERCEPT FORMULA:

The equation of a line with slope m and a point (x0, y0) is given as

(y-y0)=  m (x-x0)

⇒ The equation of line with point (6,-7) is:  

y + 7 = \frac{1}{3} (x-6)  \implies  3y + 21  - x + 6 - 0\\or, -x + 3y + 27 = 0

Now, the given equation is -x + 3y  = -27

Convert it in the  SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM  y = mx + c

We get, 3y = x - 27

or, y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{27}{3} \\\implies y = \frac{1}{3} x - 9

Hence, the Slope Intercept form of the equation is y  = \frac{1}{3} x - 9
