Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, we use the equation
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Since the have the points (2,-4) and (4,0)
m = (0--4)/ (4-2)
= (0+4)/(4-2)
= 4/2
=2
Answer:
see explanation
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 )
Given
- 4x + 3y = 12 ( add 4x to both sides )
3y = 4x + 12 ( divide the terms by 3 )
y =
x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
and y- intercept c = 4
---------------------------------------------------
Given
- 5x + 3y = - 9 ( add 5x to both sides )
3y = 5x - 9 ( divide the terms by 3 )
y =
x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
and y- intercept c = - 3
The equation:
y - y 1 = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2- x1) * ( x - x1 )
y - ( - 5 ) = ( 4 + 5 ) / ( - 5 + 7 ) * ( x - ( - 7 ) )
y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 )
y + 5 = 9/2 x + 63 /2 / * 2
2 y + 10 = 9 x + 63
- 9 x + 2 x = 53
Answer:
C ) y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 ) ; - 9 x + 2 y = 53
