1. equation y=mx+b y=6x+b m is always slope b is always y-intercept.

equation in graph:

two points (0,-3) (1,2) solve for slope
slope is 5/1 which is 5
2=0(1)+b
2=0+b
2=b
equation is y=5x+2

Answer:

1. y = 6x - 4

2. y = 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since 6 is the slope, you just add the x after the 6. The y - intercept always goes at the end of the equation.

2. The y - intercept is - 3 and the slope is 5 over 1 which is just 5.

Answer:

(a) x=−20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by the product of the denominators and solve the resulting linear equation in the usual way.

$\dfrac{2}{7}=\dfrac{-5}{x+3}\\\\2(x+3)=-5(7)\qquad\text{multiply by $7(x+3)$}\\\\2x+6=-35\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\2x=-41\qquad\text{subtract 6}\\\\\boxed{x=-20\dfrac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{divide by 2}$
