Answer:
1. y = 2x - 5
2. y = (-1/3)x
3. y = -4
4. y = (-3/4)x + 7
5. x = 6
6. y = -3x - 8
Explanation:
1.
Point 1: (0, -5) Point 2: (-1, -7)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ -7 - (-5) -7 + 5 -2
m = ------------ = ----------- = ---------- = ------ = 2
x₂ - x₁ -1 - 0 -1 -1
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (-5) = 2(x - 0)
y + 5 = 2x - 0
-5 -5
y = 2x - 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Point 1: (0, 0) Point 2: (3, -1)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ -1 - 0 -1
m = ------------ = ----------- = ----------
x₂ - x₁ 3 - 0 3
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (0) = (-1/3)(x - 0)
y - 0 = (-1/3)x - 0
-0 -0
y = (-1/3)x
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
Point 1: (0, -4) Point 2: (-5, -4)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ -4 - (-4) -4 + 4 0
m = ------------ = ----------- = ---------- = ------ = 0
x₂ - x₁ -5 - 0 -5 -5
y = -4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.
Point 1: (0, 7) Point 2: (4, 4)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ 4 - 7 -3
m = ------------ = ----------- = ----------
x₂ - x₁ 4 - 0 4
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - 7 = (-3/4)(x - 0)
y - 7 = (-3/4)x - 0
+7 +7
y = (-3/4)x + 7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.
Point 1: (6, 0) Point 2: (6, 3)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ 3 - 0 3
m = ------------ = ----------- = ---------- = undefined
x₂ - x₁ 6 - 6 0
x = 6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
Point 1: (0, -8) Point 2: (-4, 4)
(x₁, y₁) (x₂, y₂)
y₂ - y₁ 4 - (-8) 4 + 8 12
m = ------------ = ----------- = ---------- = ------ = -3
x₂ - x₁ -4 - 0 -4 -4
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (-8) = -3(x - 0)
y + 8 = -3x - 0
-8 -8
y = -3x - 8
I hope this helps!
