The correct answer is A) y = -3x - 1
In order to find this, start by using the two points on the line to find the slope.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (-4 - 2)/(1 - -1)
m = -6/2
m = -3
Since A is the only one with a -3 slope, this is the correct answer.
Answer:
To calculate the gradient of a straight line we choose two points on the line itself. From these two points we calculate: The difference in height (y co-ordinates) ÷ The difference in width (x co-ordinates). If the answer is a positive value then the line is uphill in direction.
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
+ 
= 5 ← combine terms on left side
= 5 ( multiply both sides by x )
8 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )
= x
