Complete the equation of the line through (1,4) (2,2)

The slope- intercept form of the equation of a line is : y = mx + b

The slope is represented by m and the y-intercept is represented by b.

You can use the coordinates of the two points to find the slope:

m = (y 2 - y 1)

 (x 2 - x 1)

For this problem:

m =   (4 - 2 ) =   2  

(1 - 2)     -1

To determine the y-intercept , substitute the coordinates of either point into the slope-intercept equation using a slope of -2:

y = mx + b

y = -2 • x + b

Using (1,4):

4 = -2 • 1 + b

4 = -2 + b

b = 6

The equation of the line will be :  y = -2•x + 6

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
