Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -3x+5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3.

We are given a point and the slope, so we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through.

The line has a slope of -3 and passes through (2, -1).

  • m= -3
  • x₁= 2
  • y₁= -1

Substitute the values into the formula.

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

y+1= -3 (x-2)

Distribute the -3 on the right side. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -3.

y+1 = (-3*x) + (-3*-2)

y+1=(-3x) + (6)

y+1=-3x+6

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable y.

y+1-1=-3x+6-1

y=-3x +5

The equation of the line is <u>y= -3x+5.</u>

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope or gradient (=-3)

y=-3x+b  

Add your points

(2, -1)

-1=(-3 x 2)+b

-1= -6+b

-1+6=b

b=5

y=-3x+5

The height of the object after 1 sec is 284 feet

<h3>Equation of height of an object</h3>

Given the equation of height of an object expressed as:

h(t) = -16t^2 + 300t

We are to find the height of the object after 1 sec. To do that, we will substitute t = 1 into the following expression

h(t) = -16t^2 + 300t

h(1) = -16(1)^2 + 300(1)

h(1) = -16 + 300

h(1) = 284ft

Hence the height of the object after 1 sec is 284 feet
