Question

39. State the equation for the line described below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

39). y = $-\frac{7}{8}$ x + 3

40). m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

y - $y_{1}$ = m( x - $x_{1}$ )

(- 7, 5)

( - 12, 4)

m = ( 4 - 5 ) / ( - 12 + 7) = 1/5

y - 5 = (1/5)(x + 7) ⇒ y = $\frac{1}{5}$ x + 6.4
