Determine the equation of the line that passes through points (-4,5) and has a slope of m = -3

y=-3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-4,5) and has a slope of -3.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -3. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-3x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(-4,5). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 5.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -3 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-4,5).

So, why not plug in for x the number -4 and for y the number 5? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(-4,5). y=mx+b or 5=-3 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=5-(-3)(-4). b=-7.

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
