Find the equation of the line specified. The slope is -4, and it passes through ( 5, 8).
2 answers:
Answer:
B. y= -4x + 28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation of this line first put it into slope-point form, where
and
are the y and x coordinates and m is the slope. So plug in the information to get the equation, y-8=-4(x-5). Then solve for y,
First, distribute the -4
y-8=-4x+20
Next, add 8 to both sides
y=-4x+28

The expression means "all the numbers stricktly greater than -4"
Since the number line is oriented with positive direction going to the right, a number is greater than another if its sits to its right.
So, we want all the numbers to the right of -4, excluded -4 itself.
So, the answer is D.
