How do I solve this equation? through: (-2, 4), slope = -7/-2

the formula is: y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to find the y-intercept (b). In order to find the y-intercept, we can plug in the slope and the (x,y) coordinate pair given to us into the equation to solve for the y-intercept:

y=mx+b

4=(-7/-2)*-2+b

4=14/-2+b

4=-7+b

Add 7 to both sides

b=11

Therefore the equation is:

(note that the fraction is positive since the two negatives cancel out)

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
