What is the equation for a line that passes through the point (-1,4) and has a slope of -3

y=-3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

-3=m

b=-1

y=-3x+1

y = - 3x + 1

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 )

Here m = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 3 = 1

y = - 3x + 1 ← equation of line

x coordinate is none

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
