Question

Someone can give me the answer please ?Question : “determine the equation of the line that represents moonbeam drive . Write the equation in slope intercept form”

Answer 1

Let:

`\begin{gathered} (x1,y1)=(0,16) \\ (x2,y2)=(20,0) \end{gathered}`

The slope m of the line is given by:

`m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(0-16)/(20-0)=-(4)/(5)`

Using the point-slope equation:

`\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-16=-(4)/(5)(x-0) \end{gathered}`

Since we need to write the equation in the slope-intercept form, let's solve for y:

`\begin{gathered} y-16=-(4)/(5)x \\ y=-(4)/(5)x+16 \end{gathered}`
