Answer: b=9

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope we use: y2-y1/x2-x1

Which would then be: 5-b/-2-7= 5-b/-9

Then we have to find a number for b that would give us -4 as the numerator. That number would be 9

This would give us 4/9 which is the slope we already had.

use the point-slope equation to identify the slope and the coordinates of a point on the line y – 4 = 1/2 (x – 1). the slope of

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The slope of the line is $\dfrac{1}{2}$ and a point on the line is $(1, 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general point slope of line passing through $(x_1,y_1)$ and having slope as m.

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

The given equation of the straight line,

$y-4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-1)$

Comparing this to the general equation we get the point as $(1, 4)$ and slope as $\dfrac{1}{2}$

-6 + x/4 = -5
First, you need to combine like terms.

x/4 = 1
now, you need to isolate the variable, so multiply both sides by four.

you get
x = 4
Hope this helps!!
