Answer:

equation: y=-2x+2

a=-3

b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the equation of the line containing the point (3,-4) and has the slope (m) of -2

slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we can plug what we know into the equation:

y=-2x+b

we need to find b though

since the point will pass through the point (3,-4) we can subsitute it into the equation to find b

-4=-2(3)+b

-4=-6+b

2=b

the y intercept is 2

so the equation is y=-2x+2

the line also contains the points (a,8) and (5,b)

first, let's find a

a is the x value of the point

we know the value of y (8)

substitute y as 8 and solve for x

8=-2x+2

subtract

6=-2x

-3=x=a

so a is -3

now find b

b is the y value of the point

we know the x value (5)

substitute x as 5 and solve for y

y=-2(5)+2

y=-10+2

y=-8=b

so b is -8

hope this helps!

Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4 by substituting x = 1 and x = 2. 6x + 11 3(x + 7) 2(3x + 16) 3x

2(3x+16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the expression equivalent to 4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

4(x + x + 7) − 2x + 8 − 4

When x=1 , the expression becomes 4(1+1+7)-2(1)+8-4=38

When x=2 , the expression becomes 4(2+2+7)-2(1)+8-4=44

Plug in x=1  and check with each expression

6x + 11 =6(1) +11= 16

3(x + 7) = 3(1+7)= 3(8)= 24

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(1)+16)= 38 , we got same answer when x=1, now check with x=2

2(3x + 16) = 2(3(2)+16)= 44

3x + 16= 3+16= 19

U-3/4=4 please help me ty
Ne4ueva [31]
To solve the equation:

\frac{u - 3}{4}  = 4 \\ \frac{u - 3}{4}  \times 4 = 4  \times 4\\ u - 3 = 4 \times 4 \\ u - 3 + 3 = 16 + 3 \\ u = 16 + 3 \\ u = 19

Therefore, the answer is u=19.

Hope it helps!
