Question

Can you help me with this please​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  y = 2 x - 1

b)  y = - x + 7

c)  y = 7 x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a pair of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) points to find the equation of the line for each tables:

a) (5, 9) and (10, 19)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (19 - 9) / (10 - 5) = 10 / 5 = 2

Then  y = 2 x + b

solve for b in:  9 = 2 (5) + b

b = 9 - 10 = -1

Then   y = 2 x - 1

b) (2, 5) and (5, 2)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (2 - 5) / (5 - 2) = -3 / 3 = -1

Then  y = - x + b

solve for b in:  5 = - (2) + b

b = 5 + 2 = 7

Then   y = - x + 7

c) (3, 23) and (6, 44)

slope: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (44 - 23) / (6 - 3) = 21 / 3 = 7

Then  y = 7 x + b

solve for b in:  23 = 7 (3) + b

b = 23 - 21 = 2

Then   y = 7 x + 2
