Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point 4,-1and has slope of -5

y=-5+19

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -5. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-5x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(4,-1). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be -1.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -5 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,-1).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number -1? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,-1). y=mx+b or -1=-5 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=-1-(-5)(4). b=19.

the answer is 62.8 cubic units

in mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy. there are several types of constraints—primarily equality constraints, inequality constraints, and integer constraints. the set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.

hoped i'm right lol
