How to write a equation that passes through the points (-1,12) and (4,-8)

Mathematics

Answer:

y - 12 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

1.  Find the slope.  As we go from (-1, 12) to (4, 8), x (the run) increases by 5 and y (the rise) decreases by 4.  Thus, the slope is m = rise/run = -4/5.

2.  Plug into the formula (given above) the following:

-4/5 for m, -1 for x and 12 for y:

y - 12 = (-4/5)(x + 1)

The diameter of a round dinner plate is 10 inches. What's the area of the plate?
Anni [7]
Lets say pi is 3.14
The area of a circle is: pi*radius squared
The radius is half the diameter so it is 5 inches.
3.14*5 squared 2
3.14*25

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope
aleksandrvk [35]

Given that,

Point = (-5,3)

Slope, m = -3/5

To find,

The slope intercept form of the equation of the line.

Solution,

The general form of equation is :

y = mx +b

We have, x = -5, y = 3

So,

3=\dfrac{-3}{5}(-5)+b\\\\3=-3+b\\\\b = 6

The equation is :

y=\dfrac{-3}{5}x+6

Hence, the required equation is y=\dfrac{-3}{5}x+6.

The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the diameter (x), in mm, and mass f(x), in grams, of a berry: ordered pair
ivann1987 [24]
For this case the first thing we must observe is that the mass increases 0.4 grams when the diameter increases 1 millimeter.
 Therefore, the slope of the line is given by:
 m = 0.4
 Thus, the function that best suits the table is given by:
 f (x) = -4 + 0.4x
 For example, for x = 20 we have:
 f (20) = -4 + 0.4 (20)
 f (20) = -4 + 8
 f (20) = 4
 The result, matches the table.
 Answer:
 The function that is best represented by the scatter plot is: 
 f (x) = -4 + 0.4x
