What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form using these points?

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of any linear equation is y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.

2. To find the slope given two points, we can use the formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and plug in the corresponding variable.

  • \frac{5-(-2)}{-6-1}
  • \frac{5+2}{-7}
  • \frac{7}{-7}
  • -1

3. Okay, so the slope is -1x or just -x. This means that the equation looks like this so far: y = -x + b

4. To find b, the y-intercept, we can take the equation of b = y_1 - m * x_1 and plug in the values!

  • b = -2-(-1)*1
  • b = -2 + 1 * 1
  • b = -1 * 1
  • b = -1

5. Now that we have our y-intercept and slope, let's plug in those values and find the equation!

  • y = -x - 1

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -x - 1. I hope this helped you!

Will mark brainliest!! solve &amp; simplify the following equation: 2x²-7x=4​
Goryan [66]

Answer:

x=  −1 /2   or x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is ALGEBRA, equations, factoring and zero property. ok.. let's solve this step-by-step

2x^2−7x=4

<u>Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides. </u>

2x^2−7x<u>−4 </u>=4 <u>−4 </u>

2x^2−7x−4=0

<u>Step 2: Factor left side of equation. </u>

(2x+1)(x−4)=0

<u>Step 3: Set factors equal to 0. </u>

2x+1=0 or x−4=0

x=  −1 /2   or x=4

(BTW, there are supposed to be two answers, it's factoring)

Sorry if the format is not clear, but I hope this helped (really feel you, algebra can be brain-striking)!! Please leave a comment, rating and/or mark as the brainliest-whichever you think I deserve! Thank You :)

In a certain year, there were 88 female officials in Congress, which is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.
