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

Answer:

B: 280

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression line predicts that when x equals 5:

log_{10}(y) = 2.447

In order to find the value for y, one must simply apply the following logarithmic property:

if : log_{b}(a) = c

then: b^c = a

Applying it to this particular problem:

log_{10}(y) = 2.2447\\10^{2.447}= y\\y=280

Therefore, the regression line predicts y will equal 280 when x equals 5.

What is the y intercept of a line that passes through (1,-7) and (5,-25). How do I find it.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y- intercept = - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 25)

m = \frac{-25+7}{5-1} = \frac{-18}{4} = - 4.5 , then

y = - 4.5x + c

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (1, - 7), then

- 7 = - 4.5 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 4.5 = - 2.5

y- intercept c = - 2.5
