Write an equation for the line in the given form. Contains the points (5, 2) and (8, 11); slope-intercept form

y = 3x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 11-2)/(8-5)

    = 9/3

    =3

Then using slope intercept form

y= mx+b

Using one of the points and the slope

2 = 3(5) +b

2 = 15 +b

2-15 = b

-13 =b

y = 3x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

ther are calculators online for this!

No, they are not equivalent. The first term, -4 1/2 equals 4 whole units and one half unit. All negative. So it’s like you have someone 4 and 1/2 dollars.

The second term, (-4)1/2 means multiplying -4 times 1/2. Doing the multiplication for this gives you -4/2. Solving the division here is -2. It’s taking away 1/2 dollar 4 times.

I hope this helped. Happy to answer any questions you have.
