Write an equation of each line that passes through the following points in slope-intercept form:
1. A (8, –1) and B (–4, 17)
2. C (–19, 31) and D (1, –9)

1.  y = -3/2 x +11

2.  y = -2 x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b

1. A (8, –1) and B (–4, 17)

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (17--1)/(-4-8)

   =(17+1)/(-4-8)

   =18/-12

Dividing top and bottom by 6

  =-3/2

Given the slope

y = -3/2 x+b

Using the point (8,1) we can find b

-1 = -3/2(8) +b

-1 =-12 +b

Add 12 to each side

-1+12 = -12+12 +b

11 =b

The equation is y = -3/2 x +11

2. C (–19, 31) and D (1, –9)

First we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-9-31)/(1--19)

   =(-40)/(1+19)

   = -40/20

   =-2

Given the slope

y = -2 x+b

Using the point (1,-9) we can find b

-9 = -2(1) +b

-9 =-2 +b

Add 2 to each side

-9+2 = -2+2 +b

-7 =b

The equation is y = -2 x -7

the answer on e2020 is

10

4/5

3/5

4/3

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
