Find the equation of the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
amm18122 years ago

Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for slope-intercept form, y = mx + a.

Given:

(1, -5) and (9, 11)

Find the slope (m) between the two points:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

x1 = 1

x2 = 9

y1 = -5

y2 = 11

m = ( 11 - (-5) )/(9 - 1)

= 16/8

m = 2

y = 2x + a

Use one of the two points to find a (I will use (1, -5)):

-5 = 2(1) + a

-5 = 2 + a

-7 = a

a = -7

y = 2x + (-7)

y = 2x - 7

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,4) and has a<br> slope of -3
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: y-4=-3(x+4) or y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line with a given point and slope, we can fill them into the point-slope formula. The point-slope formula is y-y₁=m(x-x₁).

y-4=-3(x-(-4))            [multiply]

y-4=-3(x+4)

Another equation could be slope-intercept form. It is y=mx+b.

y-4=-3(x+4)              [distribute]

y-4=-3x-12                [add both sides by 4]

y=-3x-8

Now, we know that the equation is y=-3x-8 or y-4=-3(x+4).

How do you graph y-2x=2
iris [78.8K]
Turn it into y=mx+b form so it is y=2x+2 the b=2 so y intercept is (0,2) and the slope is 2, do a rise of two and a run of 1 and then connect the dots
