Answer:

D. y=-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is y=mx+b. M is given as -2. Because the line passes through (0,0), it crosses the y axis at 0.

The points with coordinates (x, -1), (2,2), and (4,3) lie on the same line. What is the value of x?

borishaifa [10]

Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{3-2}{4-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-1-2}{x-2}=\dfrac{-3}{x-2}$

We have the equation:

$\dfrac{-3}{x-2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$(1)(x-2)=(-3)(2)$

$x-2=-6$ <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

$x=-4$

<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>
