Complete the equation of the line through (1,4) (2,2)

The slope- intercept form of the equation of a line is : y = mx + b

The slope is represented by m and the y-intercept is represented by b.

You can use the coordinates of the two points to find the slope:

m = (y 2 - y 1)

 (x 2 - x 1)

For this problem:

m =   (4 - 2 ) =   2  

(1 - 2)     -1

To determine the y-intercept , substitute the coordinates of either point into the slope-intercept equation using a slope of -2:

y = mx + b

y = -2 • x + b

Using (1,4):

4 = -2 • 1 + b

4 = -2 + b

b = 6

The equation of the line will be :  y = -2•x + 6

8(-10x+3.5y-7)

8×-10x + 8×3.5y + 8×-7

-80x + 28y - 56

therefore

-80x+28y-56 is the correct answer

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
