Question

Can you please help ?

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

Plot in the points for each variable to find the y-intercept.

1=-4(4)+c

1=-16+c

1+16=c

17=c

9=-4(2)+c

9=-8+c

9+8=c

17=c

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given:

2 Points

(4,1) and

(2,9)

Slope

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = 9

y1 = 1

x2 = 2

x1 = 4

m = (9 - 1) / (2 - 4)

m = 8 / - 2

m = - 4

y intercept

y = mx + b

y = -4x + b

Use (9, 1) to find the y intercept

1 = - 4*9 + b

1 = - 36 + b

b = 37

Answer

The equation is y = - 4x + 37
