Answer:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope formula is y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). When knowing the slope of a line and a point it intersects, we can write its equation with that formula. Substitute m, x_1, and y_1 for real values.

1) First, find m, or the slope. Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of the given points. Then, solve:

m = \frac{(-7)-(3)}{(3)-(2)} \\m = \frac{-7-3}{3-2} \\m = \frac{-10}{1} \\m = -10

Therefore, the slope of the line is -10.

2) Now, substitute the needed real values into the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1). Since m represents the slope, substitute -10 in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line crosses, choose any of the points given and substitute its values into the formula. (Either one is fine, they both equal the same thing. I chose (2,3).) This will give the following answer and equation:

y - 3 = -10 (x-2)

The total cost of Anja’s trip to the dentist was $628.35. She paid a flat fee of $89.95 which included the checkup and cleaning
Anna11 [10]
4x + 89.95 = 628.35 <== ur equation
4x = 628.35 - 89.95
4x = 538.40
x = 538.40 / 4
x = 134.60 <== the cost for each cavity filling

Answer:

y = -x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the point and slope into the equation y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

-6 = -1(2) + b

-6 = -2 + b

-4 = b

Then, plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b

y = -1x - 4

y = -x - 4 is the equation of the line
