Answer:
y = - 2x + 13
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 )
Here m = - 2 , then
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (4, 5) into the partial equation
5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13
y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope=-2
now using slope intercet formof equation of straight line,we get
y=mx+b
or, y=-2x + b
y + 2x =b
2x + y=b ...................... eq(i)
since the line passes through the point (4,5) it satisfies the equation (i)
y=5 and x=4 so,
equation is 2x +y =b
2*4 + 5=b
8+5=b
13=b
substituting the value of b in eq(i)
2x + y=b
2x + y=13
2x + y-13=0 is the required equation of the line.
