Answer:

y = (-3)\, x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that the equation should be in the slope-intercept form y = m \, x + c. The m and c in this equation are constants. In particular:

  • m\! would represent the slope of this line (also known as the gradient of this line,) whereas
  • c would be the y-intercept of this line.

The question states that the slope of this line is (-3). Therefore, m = -3. Thus, the equation for this line should be in the form y = (-3)\, x + c.

The value of constant c could be found using the other piece of information: the point (3,\, 1) is in this line. In other words, the solution \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} should satisfy the equation y = (-3)\, x + c.

Substitute \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} into the equation y = (-3)\, x + c and solve for c:

1 = (-3) \times 3 + c.

1 = -9 + c.

c = 10.

Hence, y = (-3) \, x + 10 would be the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line.

Fill in each square with a digit 1-9, and fill in
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

532

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the right hand side as large as possible, the numerator must be as large as possible and the denominator must be as small as possible.  But we can only use each digit once.

Through trial and error:

(9 × 8 + 4) / (1 − 6 ÷ 7) = 532
