slope -2.5, y-intercept (4,0)
slope 2.5, y-intercept (0,4)

1 answer

It seems you are dealing with a set of linear equations based on the slopes and y-intercepts given. Let’s express the linear equations for each slope and y-intercept you mentioned.

  1. Slope: 2, Y-intercept: (0, 6.5)
    The equation of the line can be written as: \[ y = 2x + 6.5 \]

  2. Slope: -2, Y-intercept: (4, 0)
    To find the equation, we can use the point-slope form. The line passes through (4, 0): \[ y - 0 = -2(x - 4) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ y = -2x + 8 \]

  3. Slope: -2.5, Y-intercept: (4, 0)
    Similar to the previous one: \[ y - 0 = -2.5(x - 4) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ y = -2.5x + 10 \]

  4. Slope: 2.5, Y-intercept: (0, 4)
    The equation can be expressed simply as: \[ y = 2.5x + 4 \]

Summary of the Equations:

  1. \( y = 2x + 6.5 \)
  2. \( y = -2x + 8 \)
  3. \( y = -2.5x + 10 \)
  4. \( y = 2.5x + 4 \)

You can graph these equations in your Desmos calculator for visualization, and use the command yl~ mxl+b to test them with your calculated slope (m) and y-intercept (b). If you have any specific questions about this data or further assistance, feel free to ask!
