Answer:

y=-4/3x-8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1

Finding the slope, 4-(-4)/-5-1 = 8/-6 = -4/3

y=-4/3x + b

Substituting,

-4=-4/3+b

-12/3+4/3=b

b=-8/3

y=-4/3x-8/3

The y - intercept is y=-5/3 x-4

Dimas [21]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the slope-intercept form of a line equation.

This means that -5/3 is the slope of the line.

It also means that -4 is the y intercept.

-4 is the y intercept.

Graph the function. f(x)= 3/5x}=-5

Alinara [238K]

Start at negative 5 since that’s your y-intercept.
Since 3/5 is your slope and slope equals rise over run you go up 3 units and go right 5 units.

The coordinates of point A are (-6, -10) and the coordinates of point B are (x,-4). The distance between A to point B is 10 unit

vlabodo [156]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ A(\stackrel{x_1}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-10})\qquad B(\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ 10=\sqrt{[x-(-6)]^2+[-4-(-10)]^2}\implies 10=\sqrt{(x+6)^2+(-4+10)^2} \\\\\\ 10^2=(x+6)^2+(6)^2\implies 100=x^2+12x+36+36 \\\\\\ 100=x^2+12x+72\implies 0=x^2+12x-28 \\\\\\ 0=(x+14)(x-2)\implies x= \begin{cases} -14\\ \boxed{2} \end{cases}$

because B is on the IV Quadrant, the x-coordinate must be positive.
