Write the equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (-1,-1)

y = - x - 2

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 )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 1)

m = = = - 1 , thus

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 1, - 1 ), then

- 1 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 1 = - 2

y = - x - 2 ← equation of line

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
