1. 4x + y = -3 y = -4x - 3 the graph looks like this... http://www.quickmath.com/webMathematica3/quickmath/graphs/equations/basic.jsp#c=graph_stepsgraphequation&v1=4x+%2B+y+%3D+-3 ========================= 2. to find the slope we will use the slope formula : slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) (3,-4) x1 = 3 and y1 = -4 (-2,1) x2 = -2 and y2 = 1 now lets sub our info into the formula m = (1 - (-4) / (-2 - 3) m = (1 + 4) / -5 m = 5/-5 m = -1 <-- your slope ============================= 3. slope intercept form : y = mx + b -5x + 2y = 12 (add 5x to both sides) 2y = 5x + 12 (now divide by 2) y = 5/2x + 6 <-- slope intercept form ============================= 2x - 3y = -10 when x = 4 2(4) - 3y = -10 8 - 3y = -10 -3y = -10 - 8 -3y = -18 y = -18/-6 y = 3 ============================= Any questions ?
nope thanks so much!
