For the case of a line through
(
2
,
7
)
and
(
1
,
−
4
)
we have
slope
m
=
Δ
y
Δ
x
=
−
4
−
7
1
−
2
=
−
11
−
1
=
11
Using the point
(
2
,
7
)
we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:
y
−
7
=
m
(
x
−
2
)
where the slope
m
=
11
.
That is:
y
−
7
=
11
(
x
−
2
)
To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...
y
−
7
=
11
x
−
(
11
⋅
2
)
=
11
x
−
22
Then add
7
to both sides to get:
y
=
11
x
−
15
=
11
x
+
(
−
15
)
This is point intercept (
y
=
m
x
+
c
) form with slope
m
=
11
and intercept
c
=
−
15
.
Answer:
-22.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the temperature fell, that would means that it's was cooler outside.
Hotter = Temperature goes up
Colder = Temperature goes down
15.7 - 38.4 = -22.7

Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first line we have a slope of (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(2--2)/(1--1)=4/2=2 so we have:
y=2x+b, now solve for b with either of the points, I'll use: (1,2)
2=2(1)+b
b=0 so the first line is:
y=2x
Now the second line:
(1-10)/(4--2)=-9/6=-3/2 so far then we have:
y=-3x/2+b, using point (4,1) we solve for b...
1=-3(4)/2+b
1=-6+b
b=7 so
y=-3x/2+7 or more neatly...
y=(-3x+14)/2
...
The solution occurs when both the x and y coordinates for each are equal, so we can say y=y, and use our two line equations...
2x=(-3x+14)/2
4x=-3x+14
7x=14
x=2, and using y=2x we see that:
y=2(2)=4, so the solution occurs at the point:
(2,4)
