Point/Slope Form of an equation!
(5,3)
slope of -2/5
x= 5
y = 3
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 3 = -2/5(x-5)
y - 3 = -2/5x + 2
y = -2/5x + 5
x intercept of 5
Answer:
3 or 6/2
Step-by-step explanation:
when there are two subtraction signs it can be taken as a plus sign
1/2 + 5/2
1/2 + 5/2 = 6/2
6 / 2 = 3
3 is your answer
Answer:
the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that since (0, -6) is the y-intercept, we can write the slope-intercept equation of the line as y = mx - 6. The other given point is (-2, 0) (which happens to be the x-intercept also). Starting with y = mx - 6, replace y with 0 and x with -2:
0 = m(-2) - 6. We now solve this for the slope, m: 0 = -2m - 6 becomes
2m = -6, or m = -3.
With m = -3 and b = -6, the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
<u>What we need to know:</u>
- Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0) - Parallel lines always have the same slope
<u>1) Determine the slope of line S using line R (m)</u>
We can identify clearly that the slope of the line is 
, as it is in the place of m. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of line S would also be . Plug this into :
<u>2) Determine the y-intercept of line S (b)</u>
Plug in the given point (-4,3) and solve for b
Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate b
Therefore, the y-intercept is 2. Plug this back into :
I hope this helps!
