Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-4.-8)
  • (-8, -9)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:-8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-8,\:-9\right)

m=\frac{-9-\left(-8\right)}{-8-\left(-4\right)}

m=\frac{1}{4}

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

substituting m = 1/4 and the point (-4, -8) to find the y-intercept 'b'

y = mx+b

-8 = 1/4(-4)+b

-8 = -1 + b

b = -8+1

b = -7

so the y-intercept = b = -7

substituting m = 1/4 and b = -7 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y  = 1/4x + (-7)

y  = 1/4x - 7

Thus, the the equation in slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

line m passes through point (-2,-1) and is perpendicular to the graph of y=-2/3x+6. Line n is parallel to line m and passes thro
puteri [66]

Answer:

Hello...... here is a solution :

1 -  

Hello:

the   equation of "m" is : y = ax+b

the slope is a : a×(- 2/3) = -1......( perpendicular to a line : y=-2/3x+6 when the slope is -2/3 )

a = 3/2          

the line " n" that passes through (4, - 3) and  parallel to line "m" :  

when the slope is 3/2 ( same slope )

the equation in slope-intercept form of the line" n" is :

 y – (-3)= (3/2)(x – 4)
