Question

A line with a slope of -4 has a coordinate of (0,3). If the other coordinate is (6,t),

Answer 1

Answer:

Alrighty! So this is what we know:

Slope (m) = (-4)

Co-ordinate (0,3)

Co-ordinate 2 (6,t)

t = ?

Let's find our equation...

y=mx+b <-- just plug what we know in...

3=(-4)0+b

3=0+b

b=3

We just found b! woohoo

Now what is t? t is a value we need to know WHICH IS the y value of a co-ordinate that corresponds to when x is 6, as we know a co-ordinate is expressed as --> (x value, y value).

SO-

t=y

plug it in our equation...

y=mx+b

t=(-4)x+3

t=(-4)(6)+3

t=(-24)+3

t=(-21)

SOOOOOOOO WE HAVE OUR T!! just write a therefore statement like "therefore the value of t is -21." and you're set! hope this helped, any questions? ask in the comment section. :)
