\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-4-4}{3-1}\implies \cfrac{-8}{2}\implies -4 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-4=-4(x-1) \\\\\\ y-4=-4x+4\implies y=-4x+8

Answer:

y=-4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line using the slope formula.

-4-4/3-1=-4, The slope is -4.

Next, find the value of b by plugging in the value of the slope and either coordinate's x and y-values.  I will use the point (1,4).

y=mx+b

4 = -4(1)+b, Solve for b.

4 = -4+b

b = 8 The equation of the line is: y=-4x+8

The value of x in the expression<br> 2x/3 - 7 = 5 is
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The answer is X = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/3 - 7 = 5

Multiply both sides if the equation by 3 : 2x - 21 = 15

Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign : 2x = 15 + 21

Calculate 2x = 15 + 21

2x = 36

Divide both sides of the eqaution by 2 : 2x = 36

x = 18

Answer X = 18

Using the line of best fit, estimate how may miles Jack ran the 10th week; show work.
Lapatulllka [165]
One way is to type it into your trusty TI and use the table from presing stat and then stat againg then calc then 4
so the equation that I got from your set of points is y=1.983333333333333x+0.80555555555
