Answer:
y = (-6/13)x + (4/13).,
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of the line is:
y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" gives the y-intercept
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-2 - 4)/(5 - (-8))
m = -6/13
y = (-6/13)x + b
the line passes through the point (-8,4) means that for x = -8, y = 4
4 = (-6/13)(-8) + b
b = 4 - (-6/13)(-8)
b = 4/13
the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8,4) and (5,-2) is:
y = (-6/13)x + (4/13).
Answer:
I dont know what options you have but all these are possible answers
y - 5 = 1/2 ( x - 4 )
y - 3 = 1/2 x
y = 1/2 x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation you need a slope, so you find the slope of both points by using the slope equstion
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
and you would get :
now you plug it into the point slope formula which is y - y = m ( x - x )
and you choose one of the two sets of points that they provided in the question but you'll get the same answer either way.
If you are looking for x then it is X = 18
The answer would be 7 inches i believe?..
