Use y = mx + b to determine the equation of a line with a slope -5, passing through the point (-2,4).

Answer:

y=-5x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

In y=mx+b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0). y and x remain the same but m and b are replaced with numbers.

Given that the slope is -5, plug it into y=mx+b:

y=-5x+b

Now, to solve for b, plug in the given point (-2,4):

4=-5(-2)+b\\4=10+b

Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate b:

4-10=10+b-10\\-6=b

Therefore, the y-intercept of this line is -6. Plug this back into y=-5x+b as b:

y=-5x-6

I hope this helps!

So this has to do with permutations and honestly I need an explanation on how I can figure these out.
AnnZ [28]
Well, the answer quite simple ....there are 4! ways to arrange these numbers...and as 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24

hence 24 is the correct answer....


u can also remember it by theorem of multiplication as.....in first place (I.e. first code can be any no. out of 4,5,2&7 ....so 4*.....

as first place is acquired by a certain no. that leaves three no. to fill third place and when third place I'd occupied it leaves 2 numbers to fill second place and lastly only one no. to fill the last place .....so it's result will be like 4*3*2*1.



I know this is pretty much confusing ....but still I tried my best....

if anything troubles u here feel free to ask me

13,822 to one significant figure is 10,000

623 to one significant figure is 600

14 to one significant figure is 10

10,000 times 600 = 6,000,000

6,000,000/10 = 600,000
