Math Problem Statement

Write the equation in slope-intercept form for points, table, and graph provided in the image.

Solution

Let's go through the problems one by one and find the equations in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b:

6) Points: (6,11)(6, 11) and (9,26)(9, 26)

First, find the slope mm using the slope formula: m=y2y1x2x1=261196=153=5m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{26 - 11}{9 - 6} = \frac{15}{3} = 5 Now, use the point-slope form yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) with point (6,11)(6, 11): y11=5(x6)y - 11 = 5(x - 6) Simplifying: y11=5x30y=5x19y - 11 = 5x - 30 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = 5x - 19 Equation for 6: y=5x19y = 5x - 19


7) Points: (14,5)(14, -5) and (10,7)(-10, 7)

Find the slope mm: m=7(5)1014=7+51014=1224=12m = \frac{7 - (-5)}{-10 - 14} = \frac{7 + 5}{-10 - 14} = \frac{12}{-24} = -\frac{1}{2} Using point (14,5)(14, -5) in point-slope form: y(5)=12(x14)y - (-5) = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 14) Simplifying: y+5=12x+7y=12x+2y + 5 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 7 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2 Equation for 7: y=12x+2y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2


8) Table of values:

We can choose any two points from the table, for example (3,20)(3, -20) and (6,14)(6, 14). The slope is: m=14(20)63=14+203=343m = \frac{14 - (-20)}{6 - 3} = \frac{14 + 20}{3} = \frac{34}{3} Using point (3,20)(3, -20) in point-slope form: y(20)=343(x3)y - (-20) = \frac{34}{3}(x - 3) Simplifying: y+20=343x34y=343x54y + 20 = \frac{34}{3}x - 34 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{34}{3}x - 54 Equation for 8: y=343x54y = \frac{34}{3}x - 54


9) Graph:

From the graph, the line passes through (4,4)(-4, -4) and (0,2)(0, 2). Using the slope formula: m=2(4)0(4)=2+44=64=32m = \frac{2 - (-4)}{0 - (-4)} = \frac{2 + 4}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} Using the point (0,2)(0, 2), which is the y-intercept, the equation is: y=32x+2y = \frac{3}{2}x + 2 Equation for 9: y=32x+2y = \frac{3}{2}x + 2
