Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.

To find b use the equation b=y_1-m*x_1. So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.

So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

Since the slope is given as 2, we can substitute this into the equation:

y = 2x+b

Now, we can manipulate the point (-1,-7) to be in the form of a y-intercept - (0, y).

Note that a slope of 2 = 2/1, which means the rise = 2(which is added to the y) and run = 1(which is added to the x).

Adding this to our point of (-1,-7), we get:

((-1+1),(-7+2)) = (0, -5)

Therefore -5 is our y-intercept.

Now, substituting -5 into our equation, we get:

y = 2x + -5

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary? X^2+3x=24
Genrish500 [490]
X^2+3x=24, halve the linear coefficient, square it, and add it to both sides

In this case (3/2)^2=2.25

x^2+3x+2.25=26.25 now the left side is a perfect square...

(x+1.5)^2=26.25  take the square root of both sides

x+1.5=±√26.25  subtract 1.5 from both sides

x=-1.5±√26.25

x=-1.5-√26.25 and -1.5+√26.25

x≈ -6.62 and 3.62

What is the slope of this line
Illusion [34]

Answer:

-8/5 is the slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, it's the change in y over the change in x. Or rise over run.

That would be 8/5.

And this line would be negative because it is going from left to right.

So your final answer would be -8/5 as your slope.
