Answer:
y = 4/5x +13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (5 -1)/(3 -(-2)) = 4/5
The y-intercept is given by the formula ...
b = y -mx . . . . for any point (x, y)
b = 1 -(4/5)(-2) = 1 +8/5 = 13/5 . . . . using the first point
So, the equation is ...
y = mx +b
y = 4/5x +13/5

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you have a bunch of these to do, you may want to make a spreadsheet with the formulas built in. Then you can type in the two points and have it spit out the m and b for your equation. Even if you don't use it to <em>do</em> the work, you can use it to <em>check</em> the work.
Answer:
The answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply all of the values by 2 and then you end up with the bigger triangle.
3y - x = a
To solve for y we isolate the y variable.
3y = x + a
y = (x + a)/3
Answer:
y= -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, convert the standard form of the equation into slope intercept form, y=mx+b.
5x-10y=-12
-10y=-5x-12
y=1/2 x + 1.2
The slope is 1/2 and the slope of the new line will be -2 because the negative reciprocal create a perpendicular line. Use the point-slope form to write the equation, then simplify and convert into the slope intercept form.
(y-8)=-2(x--4)
y-8=-2(x+4)
y-8=-2x -8
y= -2x +0
