Can u solve this find the value of b if the graph the equation y=−3x+b goes through the given point. a(−2, 4) and b(5,2)

Hello!

To the value of b, or the y-intercept, we need to substitute an ordered pair/point into the given equation.

Since we are given two points, we can use those two points to find two different equations.

Remember that ordered pairs are written as (x, y).

A(-2, 4)

y = -3x + b

4 = -3(-2) + b

4 = 6 + b (subtract 6 from both sides)

-2 = b

A) Therefore, the equation of the first ordered pair is y = -3x - 2.

B(5, 2)

2 = -3(5) + b

2 = -15 + b (add 15 to both sides)

17 = b

B) The equation of the second ordered pair is y= -3x + 17.

Final answers:

left 3, up 4

step-by-step explanation:

just count the values of x & y of the vertex of the graph and see how many units in the x and y direction will get you from the f(x) graph to the f(x) graph

the answer is 0.3175 hope that you ^w^
