What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and passes through the point (6,8)

Start with the point-slope formula, shown below in bold.

Our point which in this case is (6, 8) represents (x1, y1) in our formula.

~Substitute

Y - 8 = -2(x - 6)

I will be writing this equation in standard form.

First distribute the -2 through the parentheses.

This gives us y - 8 = -2x + 12.

Next we would move the -8 to the right side of the equation

by adding 8 to both sides to get y = -2x + 20.

Finally we move our x term to the left side of the equation

by adding 2x to both sides and our answer is 2x + y = 20.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
