Answer:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)

(3, -7) = (x1, y1)

(7, 2) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

\frac{2-(-7)}{7-3}

Simplify:

2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9

7 - 3 = 4

\frac{9}{4}

The slope is \frac{9}{4}.

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:

2=\frac{9}{4}(7)+b

2=\frac{63}{4}+b

-\frac{55}{4} =b

The y-intercept is -\frac{55}{4}.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y=\frac{9}{4}x-\frac{55}{4}

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

OMG! Don't do that! I am so sorry this is happening to you. Look I don't know how to comfort you. IF he keeps doing this tell your mom or litterally call 911. If he did it just on that day then try confronting him on it. And ask him why he did that! Don't self-harm you deserve so much more than that! You are awesome!
