Answer:
y = 4/3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the equation of a line with 2 points, we use the slope formula which is:
we will use (6,4) as and we will use (-3,-8) as
. we plug this into the slope formula:
-8 - 4 = -12
-3 - 6 = -9
the slope is
but we can simplify this further by dividing the fraction by -3
-12 / -3 = 4
-9 / -3 = 3
the simplified version of the slope is
we can write this in slope-intercept form which is y =mx + b, with b being the y intercept and m being the slope
y = 4/3x + b <--- we need to solve for <em>b</em> in order to find the y intercept, so substitute x & y for a point on the line, we can use any point we are given, but for this example i will use (6,4)
4 = 4/3(6) + b < multiply 4/3 x 6
4 = 8 + b < subtract 8 from both sides
-4 = b
our y intercept would be (0,-4)
the equation looks like the following:
y = 4/3x - 4, which is our answer
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Inequalities of the type | x | > a, always have solutions of the form
x < - a or x > a
This can be extended to expressions, that is
14 - 5x < - 8 OR 14 - 5x > 8 ( subtract 14 from both sides of both inequalities )
- 5x < - 22 OR - 5x > - 6
Divide both sides by - 5 , reversing the inequality sign as a consequence
x > OR x <
That is the solution is
x < OR x >
