Answer:

k = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = rise/run = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

s = (7 - (3-k)) / ((k+3) - (-5)) give slope is 3/5

3/5 = (7 - (3-k)) / ((k+3) - (-5)) then multiply both sides by ((k+3) - (-5))

(3/5)((k+3) - (-5)) = (7 - (3-k))

(3/5)(k+3+5) = 7 - 3 + k

(3/5)(k+8) = 4 + K

3k/5 + 24/5 = 4 + k

3k/5 - k = 4 - 24/5

3k/5 - 5k/5 = 20/5 - 24/5

-2k/5 = -4/5

-2k = -4

k = 2

What is the equation of the line through(4,2) and (0,-2)?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

y = x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 2 )

m = $\frac{-2-2}{0-4}$ = $\frac{-4}{-4}$ = 1

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2 ) ⇒ c = - 2

y = x - 2 ← equation of line
