The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:
5+1
m = ---------- = -3/2
-1-3
We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:
-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.
The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.
3y = 6
Product means multiply so 3 multiplied by y is 3y which is equal to 6. :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of the power of a power property, which states that 
, where m and n are real numbers, the expression you mentioned can be simplified by applying this property like this: 
Answer:
y = - 
x - 
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 
x + 1 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m =
Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= - 
= - 
= - , thus
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 8, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 
+ c ⇒ c = 2 - = -
y = - x - ← equation of perpendicular line
The answer is fifteen................
