To find the slope you use the equation:
m = (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)
You plug in the two points into this equation to find m (m is the slope)
m = (1 - 0) ÷ (0 - 2)
m = 1 ÷ (-2)
m = - 1/2
Next you use this equation:
y = mx + b
Because you know m you plug it in.
y = -1/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in either of the points into this equation(you come out with the same answer for b)
y = -1/2x + b
1 = -1/2(0) + b
1 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = -1/2x + 1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the line joining the 2 points is a measure of the average rate of change.
Calculate slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 2)
m = 
= 
= ← average rate of change
Answer:
[12, 15]
Step-by-step explanation:
{6x + 5y = 147
{8x + 4y = 156
-¾[8x + 4y = 156]
{6x + 5y = 147
{-6x - 3y = -117 ← New Equation
________________
2y = 30
___ ___
2 2
y = 15 [Plug this back into both equations to get the x-coordinate of 12]; 12 = x
So, using the Elimination Method, what I did here was took the bottom equation and multiplied it by -¾, turning 8x to -6x, canceling out all <em>x-terms</em><em>.</em><em> </em>It does not matter which variable you choose to eliminate, as long as you know what you are doing.
I am joyous to assist you anytime.
It's 8 if you're doing ones but if you're doing tenths it's 8.4 and i
