Answer:
y = -1/2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
The y intercept is 1 (this is where it crosses the y intercept)
(0,1) and (2,0) are two points on the line
The slope is given by
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= (0-1)/(2-0)
= -1/2
The slope is -1/2
The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -1/2x +1
Answer:
-26
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is 14 away from -12. The other number that is 14 away from -12 is -26.
-12 + x = 2
x = 14
-12 - 14 = -26
Answer:
slope = 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you were given two points, you can use the point-slope formula to find the slope. The general equation looks like this:
y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)
In this formula, "m" represents the slope. To find the slope, plug the values from the two points into the equation. Make sure to put the values from the same point in the variable with the same number.
Point 1: (-1, 8)
Point 2: (-7, 3)
y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂) <----- Original formula
8 - y₂ = m(-1 - x₂) <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from Point 1
8 - 3 = m(-1 - (-7)) <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from Point 2
5 = m(-1 - (-7)) <----- Simplify left side
5 = m(6) <----- Simplify inside parentheses
5/6 = m <----- Divide both sides by 6
