A line contains the point (4, 2) and has a slope of −3.
What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
Enter your answer by filling in the boxes and explain.

y = ? x + ?

the equation is y = - 3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c represents the y intercept

m represents the slope of the straight line.

The slope of the given line is - 3 and it contains the point (4, 2)

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute m = - 3, x = 4 and

y = 2 into y = mx + c. It becomes

2 = - 3 × 4 + c

2 = - 12 + c

c = 12 + 2

c = 14

The equation becomes

y = - 3x + 14

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
