The equation of a line that goes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so, given the point (-2,8)
x1=-2
y1=8
y-8=m(x-(-2))
y-8=m(x+2)
the equation is y-8=m(x+2) where m is the slope
or you could rewrite it to get y=mx+2m+8
So to start subtract $5 from $16.25 for the monthly membership
That gives you $11.25
So then you Just divide...
$11.25 divided by $1.25
which gives you 9
So bill rented 9 movies for the month
Hope this helped! :)
Answer:
y - 5 = 2(x + 2)
General Formulas and Concepts:
Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
x₁ - x coordinate
y₁ - y coordinate
m - slope
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Slope <em>m</em> = 2
Point (-2, 5)
<u>Step 2: Create equation</u>
y - 5 = 2(x + 2)
The slope of the given line is found from the coefficient of x after dividing the equation by 2.
.. y = -3x +4
The given line has slope -3.
A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this:
.. -1/(-3) = 1/3
This corresponds to your 3rd choice.
