so you just do the slope formula
which y2-y1 over x2-x1 in fraction form
so you would do
(-1 , 8) (5 , -4)
(x1 , y1) (x2 , y2)
-4 - 8 over 5- (-1)
which would give you the fraction 12/6
it can be simplified to 2
so 2 is your slope
hope it help
Answer:
y= -2x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
Substitute the ordered pairs into the equation
So:
y= -1 m(slope) = -2 x=1 b=?
-1 = (-2)(1) + b
-1 = -2 +b add 2 on both sides to get b by itself
-1 +2 = b
b=1
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2. expand the brackets
3. take away the smallest x value to simplify 8x-5x=3x
4. 3x=-15 divide both sides by 3 to find the value of x
5. -15/3=-5 therefore x=-5
Hi there! The answer is x = 3.
All vertical lines have an undetermined slope (since the formula which represents the slope has a denominator of 0). Therefore the general formula of a vertical line is the following x = c, with c representing the x-coordinate of the point that is passed by the line. Therefore, in your situation we get the line x = 3. When we plot this line, we can see it is a vertical line with x-coordinate 3 and that all values of y are passed, also y = - 8.
