Complete the equation of the line through (2, 1) and (5, -8). Use exact numbers. y =

y = - 3x + 7

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, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)

m = = = - 3 , then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

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

Using (2, 1 ), then

1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 6 = 7

y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line

step-by-step explanation:

a child is 12 years old, and his father is 32 years older. in how many years will the age of the father be 2 times the age of the child?

******************

this needs to be the answer format, or else your answer is incomplete.

if the number of years is x, then the equation is

in __ years
