Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line that passes through (5, -4) and has a slope of 34?

y=−34x−14

y=34x+14

y=34x−314

y=34x+314
Done

Answer 1

slope intercept form is y = mx + b
m is your slope and b is your y intercept
we already know the slope (m) is 34....and the points (5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4.
So basically, we just need to find the y intercept (b)


now we use the formula
y = mx + b .....now we sub out info in and solve for b
-4 = 34(5) + b
-4 = 170 + b
-4 - 170 = b
-174 = b

so your equation is : y = 34x - 174

are you sure the problem is written correctly ??

can u help me on a different question my teacher helped me but she can only help me on one

Answer 5

A company that packages cold cuts needs to transport the packaged meat to the supermarket. It will cost $1,200 to rent a truck, and it will cost an additional $100 for every 50 pounds transported. Which equation represents the transport cost for every 50 pounds of cold cuts transported?

y = 1,200 − 100x

y = 1,200 + 100x

y = 1,200x + 100

y = 100x − 1,200

Answer 6

y = 1200 + 100x

(y) transport cost = 1200 for rent of truck + 100x (x being however many 50 lbs of meat there is)
