Answer:
y=-3x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
concepts: y=mx+b is slope intercept equation formula
m=slope
b= y intercept
Therefore we need to find the slope and y intercept
first find slope
m=
let y2 be 2
let y1 be -4
let x2 be 1
let x1 be 3
6/-2 = -3
m=-3
slope is -3
y= -3x+ b
we need find y intercept now
just plug in (1,2) into that equation
2=-3(1)+b
b=5
y=-3x+5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
+ 6 = x ( subtract 6 from both sides )
= x - 6 ( square both sides )
x = (x - 6)² ← expand using FOIL
x = x² - 12x + 36 ( subtract x from both sides )
0 = x² - 13x + 36 , that is
x² - 13x + 36 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 4)(x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = 4
left side = + 6 = 2 + 6 = 8
right side = x = 4
Since 8 ≠ 4 then x = 4 is an extraneous solution
x = 9
left side = + 6 = 3 + 6 = 9
right side = x = 9
Thus the solution is x = 9 → B
