Been stuck on it for hours

Answer 1

wats the slope of given line, \(4x-7y = 5\) ?

Answer 2

4/7

Answer 3

perfect !
you have slope m = 4/7
you have a point = (2, -1)

set the equation in point-slope form. wats stopping u ? :)

Answer 4

I always seem the get the wrong y-intercept. I don't know how

Answer 5

its okay :) show me wat u got....

Answer 6

y + 1 = 4/7(x - 2)
y + 1 = 4/7x - 8/7
y = 4/7x - 9/7

Answer 7

first two steps are correct

Answer 8

last step u made a small mistake

Answer 9

?

Answer 10

y + 1 = 4/7(x - 2)
y + 1 = 4/7x - 8/7
y = 4/7x - 9/7

Answer 11

how did u get -9/7 there ?

Answer 12

-8 - 1

Answer 13

wat about the bottom 7 ?
why u ignoring it ?

Answer 14

its

-8/7 - 1

NOT -8-1

Answer 15

I subtract both?

Answer 16

to subtract, u need to have SAME denominator for both

Answer 17

\(\large \frac{-8}{7} - 1\)

Answer 18

\(\large \frac{-8}{7} - \frac{7}{7}\)

Answer 19

now that bottoms are same,
u can add/subtract the tops

Answer 20

\(\large \frac{-8-7}{7} \)

\(\large \frac{-15}{7} \)

Answer 21

Ohh i see now

Answer 22

good :)

Answer 23

the final answer is y = 4/7x - 15/7 ?

Answer 24

\(\large \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

Answer 25

Thank you so much :)

Answer 26
