Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (-1, 6) and has a slope of -3. (1 point)

y - 6 = -3x - 3
y - 6 = -3(x + 1)
y = -3x + 3
3x + y = 3

Answer 1

@waterineyes

Answer 2

Point slope form of line is given by:
\[y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)
they give you the point (-1, 6) so you will use that for \(x_1,~y_1\)

Answer 5

\((x_!, y_1)\) is the given point ie \((-1,6)\) and Slope \(m\) is \(3\).. Just plug in the values.

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

Just try it..

Answer 8

B?

Answer 9

Excellent.. :)

Answer 10

* \(m = -3\), I have written wrong there.. :(

Answer 12

im right!?

Answer 13

Haha thanks can i ask another?

Answer 15

A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 60 dumpster loads of waste removed. In week 10, there were 40 dumpster loads removed. Assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week. (2 points)

f(x) = - 4x + 60
f(x) = 4x + 60
f(x) = - 4x + 80
f(x) = 4x + 80

Answer 16

sure \(\ddot\smile\)

Answer 17

@sleepyjess

Answer 18

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (-6, 4) and (2, 0). (2 points)

y - 4 = - (x + 6)
y - 4 = 2(x + 6)
y + 6 = - (x - 4)
y + 6 = 2(x - 4)

Answer 19

For third one:
First find lope by using :
\[Slope (m) = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 20

first we need to find the slope
do you know how to do that? @shmual

Answer 21

Can you find Slope?
