Help! Medal will be given!

Answer 1

help with what

Answer 2

wait a sec let me write it

Answer 3

If a line has a slope of -2/5 and passes through the points (3,7), write an equation for this line in slope intercept form

Answer 4

Answer 5

you want to use the point-slope equation:\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\] next you plug in your values and you get y-7=-2/5(x-3).

Answer 6

distribute -2/5 and add 7 to both sides and you get y= -2/5x + 6/5 +7

Answer 7

then just add 6/5 and 7 and your final answer will be y= -2/5x + 8.2. you can leave that in fraction form if you want

Answer 8

After I distribute it'll be y-7=-2/5x+6/5

Answer 9

yes, you distribute then add 7 to both sides

Answer 10

I think it'll be y-29/5=-2/5z

Answer 11

in slope intercept form you want y to be isolated

Answer 12

but is what I said correct?

Answer 13

@friendswithdogs

Answer 14

im not sure how you got -29/5

Answer 15

i cant subtract fractions in my calculator

Answer 16

after you distributed to get \[y -7=\frac{ -2 }{ 5 }x +\frac{ 6 }{ 5 }\] use your calculator to add 7 to 6/5 and that should be your answer

Answer 17

I got y=-2/5x+41/5
