Which equations are equations for the line shown? Choose all answers that are correct. A. B. C. D.
the graph is the first one. the others are the answer. They are in other already.
damn is hard
ya @josedavid
You want to find the line. Such line has the form: \[y=ax+b\] So now you can make 2 equations with 2 variables, by inputting your coordinates. \[1=a*5+b\]\[-2=a*(-4)+b\] Solve for a and b, and you get the line. Do you know how to solve 2 equations with 2 variables?
no @Tommynaiter
So I would do this by substitution. Here to isolate a or b in the first equation and insert it in the 2nd. Like this: \[1=5a+b<=>b=1−5a\] Insert it: \[−2=-4a+(1−5a)<=>a=1/3\] Now you have a, and insert it: \[1=5a+b<=>1=5∗1/3+b<=>b=−2/3\] So you get the line: \[y=1/3x−2/3\]
This should be right, made a mistake before. Now this line is the same as one of yours. \[y-1=1/3(x-5) <=>y-1=1/3x-5/3 <=> y=1/3x-2/3\]
