4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
Answer: The inequality solves to x ≥ 42
The graph is shown below
==================================================
Explanation:
We have some unknown number x, and we're dividing by 6 to form the fraction x/6. That result is 7 or larger which means we write x/6 ≥ 7
To solve for x, we undo the division. We'll multiply both sides by 6. That's how we get to x ≥ 42
The graph will involve a number line. Plot a closed filled in circle at 42 on the number line. Shade to the right. This visually represents any number that is 42 or larger. The endpoint 42 itself is included in the solution set.
Side note: We would use an open circle if we didn't have the "or equal to" portion for the inequality sign.
Answer:
A. the slope value is 1/4
B. 0
C. y = 1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
A: the slope can be calculated with the formula

m is the slope
(x1, y1) is your first coordinate point (any point will work)
(x2, y2) is your second coordinate point (any point will work)
Plug in your values, in this case I chose (0,0) and (4,1) as the two coordinates:

B: the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of where the graph touches the y-axis and in this case the coordinate is (0,0) where the y coordinate is 0.
C:
the equation of the graph is y = mx + b.
m is the slope = 1/4
b is the y-intercept = 0
Therefore the equation is y = 1/4x
