Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 4 and 2 then add 2 and 1
Answer:
y = - 4x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 9)
m = [tex]\frac{9-1}{2-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{-2}[/tex] = - 4, thus
y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (4, 1) , then
1 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 16 = 17
y = - 4x + 17 ← equation of line
