Question

Solve the math problem

Answer 1

Answer: a) y=-29x-20 b) y=3/5x-18

Step-by-step explanation:

a) m = (-49-38)/(1 - (-2)) = -87/3 = -29

y=-29x+b --> Substitute (1,-49) as a point

(-49)=-29(1)+b

-49=-29+b

-b=-29+49

b=-20

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=-29x-20

b) m = (-18-(-9)/(0-15)) = -9/-15 = 3/5

The y-intercept is (0,-18) as it's where the line intersects the y-axis and x equals 0

Therefore, the equation of the line is y=3/5x-18
