Answer:
y = -2.5 x + 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is written as
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
a) We can find the slope of the line passing through (-1,30 and (-4, 5) by subtracting the y coordinates and dividing the difference by the difference if the x coordinates:
m = (5 - 3 ) = 2
-4 - (-1) -3
Now use this slope and substitute the coordinates of either of the given points to find the y-intercept, b . Let's use (-1,3):
y = mx + b
3 = -2 • -1 + b
3
3= 2 + b
3
7 = b
3
The equation of the line will be y = -2 x + 7
3 3
b) Using y = mx + b, we can substitute -2.5 for the slope and use the point to find the y-intercept:
y = -2.5x + b
1.5 = -2.5 • 2 + b
1.5 = -5 + b
6.5 = b
The equation of the line will be:
y = -2.5 x + 6.5
Change 3 to 6 and 2 to 4
Now Do
3/6 + 5/6 = ?
? = 8/6
8/6 = 1 2/6
1 2/6 = 1 1/3
A = 21/2 i will write something too just to fill up the space
Wait it says ur in high school so u can't be over 30. that isn't possible. So what's the problem here? not good at math.
