Find the equation (in terms of x) of the line through the points (-2,4) and (2,0)
y =

y = - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0 )

m = = = = - 1 , then

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, 0 )

0 = - 2 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 2 = 2

y = - x + 2 ← equation of line

c is the final answer! : )

problem:

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this !
