Write an equation of a line that goes thru the points (-2, 6) & (3, -4)

y= -2x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y= mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept. This form is known as the slope-intercept form.

To find the value of m, use the gradient formula below:

m= -2

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute any pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Here, I am going to substitute the coordinates (3, -4).

y= -2x +c

When x= 3, y= -4,

-4= -2(3) +c

-4= -6 +c

c= -4 +6

c= 2

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -2x +2.

answer: need picture of problem

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
