1.y=-7x-2
2.y=-4x+10
next time juust plug the numberes in for example for the first one right the y=mx+b then plug in 5 for the y and -1 for the x then -7 for the m then solve
For the first one it is 2 miles and for number 2 it is $4.76
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the coordinates (6, 3) and (8, 4), allowing us to calculate the slope (or gradient). To do this, you divide the change in y by the change in x, which is 1/2 which is a half.
The form of a linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
We have the gradient, so we can put it in the equation:
y = x/2 + c
We can now substitute in a pair of our coordinates and rearrange to find the y-intercept.
3 = 6/2 + c
3 = 3 + c
c = 0
Therefore the equation for our line is y = x/2.
We can now put in the y coordinate we were given to work out the corresponding x coordinate:
-2 = x/2
x = -4
Therefore n is -4.
