Question

Help me with these 3 questions, please

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y = -2x + 4

3. y = (1/3)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Re-write your equation so that x is on the right and y is on the left:

x = -4y ---> y = (-1/4)x

slope = -1/4. y-intercept = (0,0)

2. y-intercept = (0,4) ----> P1

x-intercrpt = (2,0) ----> P2

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

= (0 - 4)/(2 - 0)

= -2

therefore, y - y1 = mx - x1 ---> y - 4 = -2x

or y = -2x + 4

3. y-intercept = (0,-1)

x-intercept = (3,0)

m = (0 - (-1)) / (3 -0) = 1/3

y - (-1) = (1/3)x - 0 ---> y = (1/3)x - 1
