Question

What is the equation of the line that contains the point (–5, –1) and has a slope of 4? Write in slope-intercept form.
A.
y = 4x – 19
B.
y = 4x + 19
C.
y = 4x – 1
D.
y = 4x + 1

Answer 1

you can try every answer....
for example a. -1=4*-5-19 what idnt equal

Answer 2

y = m x+b
The numberic values for x, y and m is given in the problem statement. Plug them in the general line equation above and solve for b.

Answer 3

so the answer is A

Answer 4

b is the answe

Answer 5

can u help me with another one

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that has a slope of –3 and passes through the point (0, 5)?

Answer 8

y=ax+b, a is the slope, b is intersection with x ray, so y=-3x+5

Answer 9

Answer 10

go to school :P

Answer 11

lol please

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

What is the y-intercept of the line that has a slope of -1/2and passes through the point (2, 3)?

Answer 14

y=-1/2x+?

Answer 15

i told you what in y=ax+b is slope, its a..., if (2,3) is point of y=ax+b then 3=2a+b. so because a=-1/2 3=-1+b ->b=4 so ->y=-1/2*a+4, y intercept is 4

Answer 17

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, 12) and has a slope of -3/4

Answer 18

Refer to the two line solution from Mathematica.

Answer 19

@robtobey thanks but i already got the answers but can help me out with this one

Answer 20

Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, 12) and has a slope of -3/4

Answer 21

See the second attachment below. It's the same process.

Answer 22

(y+12)=-3/4(x-4)
