Write a function for the line with a slope of −14 that passes through the point (4, 5)

y = -14x + 61

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

First, we can find the slope by reading the question and plugging in the slope of -14 into a slope-intercept formula.

y = (-14)x + b

Now, we need to find the "b" value. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that passes through the the point (4,5). Plug in 4 into the x value and 5 into the y value, and solve for b.

5 = (-14)(4) + b

(Flip the equation, so we can solve for b.)

b = 5 - (-14) (4)

(Multiply.)

b = 5 - -56

(Substitute the double minus for a plus sign and add.)

b = 5 + 56

b = 61

Now, plug in your "b" value into our original equation.

FINAL ANSWER:

y = -14x + 61

false

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
