What is an
equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,8) and (4,1)?

y= -1x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3,8) ( 4,1)

8-1= 7

-3-4 = -7

7/-7 = -1  so the slope is -1   so we will use the formula y=mx+b to find the y-intercept

8= -1(-3) + b

8= 3 + b

-3   -3

b= 5  so the y intercept is 5 now we will write the equation like this y= -1x + 5

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
