Write an equation for the line described. Give the answer in standard form. through (2,6), m= -5
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5x +y = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
Your point and slope make this ...
y -6 = -5(x -2)
y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation

<u>Anna:</u>
1st month = 18 + = 18
inches
2nd month = 18 +
= 19
3rd month = 19 +
= 20
4th month = 20 +
= 21
5th month = 21 + = 21
<u>Grace:</u>
Because Anna is inches shorter than Grace, we can start the count from the third month:
1st month = 20
2nd month = 21
3rd month = 21
4th month = 21 +
= 22
5th month = 22 +
= 23
