PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO WHOEVER ANSWERS FIRST What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (2, 7) and (4, −1)? y=−4x+15 y=−4x+3 y=−4x+30 y=−4x+12

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the two points (2,7) and (4,-1).  In order to determine the linear equation, we need to find the slope and the y-intercept. First, find the slope m. Let (2,7) be x1 and y1, and let (4,-1) be x2 and y2:

Thus, the slope is -4.

Now, to find the y-intercept, we can use the point-slope form. Recall that the point slope form is:

Where (x1, y1) is a coordinate pair and m is the slope.

Use either of the two coordinate pair. I'm going to use (2,7). Substitute them for x1 and y1, respectively:

This is also slope-intercept form. The answer is A.

A. y=-4x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find the slope by using the formula

The first step is to put in the right numbers,

Then, subtract the numbers accordingly

Then simplify

or -4

The next step is finding the y-intercept, you can do this by drawing it out or using the formula (i will be using the point (2,7) where y is 7 and x is 2)

y=-4x+b   Plug in the values

7=-4(2)+b   Multiply

7=-8+b   add 8 to both sides to isolate the variable

15=b

so y=-4x+15

Hope this helps, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Have a good day! :)

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female
