Find the equation (in terms of x) of the line through the points (-2,3) and (4,-9)
y =
2 answers:
Answer: y = -2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the slope from the two given points. Slope is the change in y per the change in x, sometimes called the rise (y) over the run (x)
Rise is (-9 -3) = -12
Run is (4 - (-2)) = 6
Slope = Rise/Run = -12/6 = -2
The line is y = -2x + b
Find b by using either of the two known points (solutions). I'll choose (-2,3) [because I like smaller numbers]
y = -2x + b
3 = -2*(-2) + b
b = -1 [That was only slightly easier than -9 = -2*(4) + b; b = -1]
The equation is y = -2x - 1
Answer:
y =5
Step-by-step explanation:
m=
−9−7
5−5
=
−16
0
=0
y=mx+b
5=(0)(7)+b
b=5
therefore y = 5

Equal. 4 and 5/5 is just 4 + 1, which is 5. 20/4 is also 5.
Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
4 times 3 =12 -2= 10
Change=given-cost
cost=total cost=cost for all of them added together
cost=popcorn+small drink+fruit snacks
cost=4+3+5
cost=12
given=x
change=3
3=x-12
that is the equation
solve
add 12 to both sides
15=x
he gave $15 to the cashier
