ANSWER: y= -4x+1
slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

to find m, which is the slope, we used
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (rise over run)
=(-15-(-3)/4-1)
= -12/3
= -4

to find b, choose one of the points and use the slope -4 and plug it in:
y=m(x)+b
-3= -4(1)+b
-3= -4+b
1=b

Answers:

10.) $\displaystyle \pm{5}$

9.) $\displaystyle 1\frac{1}{2}$

8.) $\displaystyle \pm{1\frac{1}{2}}$

7.) $\displaystyle \pm{1\frac{1}{2}}$

6.) $\displaystyle \pm{\frac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanations:

10.) $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{200}}{\sqrt{8}} \hookrightarrow \sqrt{25} \hookrightarrow \frac{\pm{10\sqrt{2}}}{\pm{2\sqrt{2}}} \\ \\ \boxed{\pm{5}}$

9.) $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[3]{135}}{\sqrt[3]{40}} \hookrightarrow \sqrt[3]{3\frac{3}{8}} \hookrightarrow \frac{3\sqrt[3]{5}}{2\sqrt[3]{5}} \\ \\ \boxed{1\frac{1}{2}}$

8.) $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{162}}{\sqrt[4]{32}} \hookrightarrow \sqrt[4]{5\frac{1}{16}} \hookrightarrow \frac{\pm{3\sqrt[4]{2}}}{\pm{2\sqrt[4]{2}}} \\ \\ \boxed{\pm{1\frac{1}{2}}}$

7.) $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{63}}{\sqrt{28}} \hookrightarrow \sqrt{2\frac{1}{4}} \hookrightarrow \frac{\pm{3\sqrt{7}}}{\pm{2\sqrt{7}}} \\ \\ \boxed{\pm{1\frac{1}{2}}}$

6.) $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{48}} \hookrightarrow \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \hookrightarrow \frac{\pm{2\sqrt{3}}}{\pm{4\sqrt{3}}} \\ \\ \boxed{\pm{\frac{1}{2}}}$
