4x + y = 7
y = -4x + 7
using y = mx + b
b being your y intercept, (0,7)
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify signs
3x + 7 = -2
Step 2: Subtract 7 on both sides
3x = -9
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3
x = -3

Answer:
y = 2x - 3
Yes, your answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope of the two points by using the slope formula:
y2 - y1
m = -------------
x2 - x1
13 - 5
m = -------------
8 - 4
8
m = ------- = 2
4
To find the y-intercept, plug in values into the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b
Where m = slope and b= y-intercept. Use any one of the points. I'll be using (4,5):
5 = (2) (4) + b
5 = 8 + b
-3 = b
b = -3
So, putting everything into the slope intercept formula:
y = 2x - 3
The answer is approximately 8.1
