Answer:
y = -(5/2)x -2
Explanation:
The general formula for a straight line is y – mx + b.
The image below shows the graph of the line.
Step 1. <em>Calculate the slope</em>.
Slope = m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
x₁ = 0; y₁ = -2
x₂ = -2; y₂ = 3 Calculate m
m = [3-(-2)]/(-2-0)
m = (3+2)/(-2)
m = 5/(-2)
m = -5/2
Step 2. <em>Calculate the y-intercept </em>
When x = 0, y = 2.
The y-intercept (b) is at y = -2
Step 3. <em>Write the equation </em>for the graph
y = mx + b
y = -(5/2)x - 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2. Let's get rid of the 2 first. The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get
Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division. So we divide both sides by m to get
The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally
