Algebra.Com's Answer #50730 by checkley75(3666)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! (6-(-4)*4=40 IS THE INCREASE IN THE Y VALUE BECAUSE THE LINE HAS A SLOPE OF 4 NOW ADD THE STARTING Y POINT 4 WE HAVE A NEW Y POINT OF 44 \n" ); document.write( "(6,4)(-4,44) HAS A SLOPE OF \n" ); document.write( "(44-4)/(-4-6) \n" ); document.write( "40/-10 \n" ); document.write( "-4 \n" ); document.write( "THE LINE EQUATION IS \n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b \n" ); document.write( "4=-4*6+b \n" ); document.write( "4=-24+b \n" ); document.write( "b=4+24 \n" ); document.write( "b=28 \n" ); document.write( "b=6+24 \n" ); document.write( "b=30 THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT & THE LINE EQUATION IS: \n" ); document.write( "Y=-4X+28 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
