How to find an equation for a line through two given points?​

Answer:

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Then

y = 0.6x + b

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

y = 0.6x + b

3 = 0.6*4 + b

2.4 + b = 3

b = 0.6

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

A city park has 4 splash pads. Each splash pad is in the shape of a parallelogram with a base of 5.4 meters and a height of 3.8
Reika [66]
Using the formula for area for a parallelogram, A=BH, where A is area, B is Base, and H is height, you follow that. So in this case, you would want to find one of the area's then multiply it by 4. So for the area you get 20.52 meters. If you multiply it by 4, you get 82.08 meters. Have a nice day!

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions. 3x-5y= -30
anastassius [24]

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. So let's use the given equation and turn it into this form.

3x-5y=-30

Move the -3x to the right side

-5y=-3x-30

Divide both sides by -5

y=\dfrac{3}{5}x+6

This should be your answer, let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,4) and has a slope of 3/2
iren [92.7K]

Answer: Y= 3/2x-8=

Step-by-step explanation:Y=4 M= 3/2. X=-8

Y=mx+b

4 = 3/2(8)+b

4= 24/2+b

4= 12+b

-12=-12

-8=b
