Answer:

Slope (m) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>*If all the given four points are on a straight line then; the slope derived from first two points should be equal to the slope derived from the next to points.</em>

<em />

Let's verify this ...

<u>For the first two points:</u>

Slope (m) = change in y ÷ change in x = \frac{6 - 11}{14 - 13} = \frac{-5}{1} = -5

<u>For the next two points:</u>

<u />

m = \frac{-4 - 1}{16 - 15} = -5

*Proved ∴ points (13,11) , (14,6) , (15, 1) and (16,-4) are on the same line.

  • <em>We can find the equation of this line and ascertain that the four points are on a single line.</em>

<em></em>

Taking another point (x,y) on the line and point (13,11);

m = \frac{y - 11}{x - 13} = -5

y = -5x + 65 + 11

y = -5x + 76

  • Let's graph this equation. (graph attached)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can easily find the slope by using two points. Let’s use (13, 11) and (14, 6)

We look at the slope equation as: y2 - y1 divided by x2 and x1.

13 = x1 11= y1 and 14= x2 6=y2

Plug in: 6-11/14-13 and solve

Answer: -5

Hope I made sense :)

The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 38. Find the numbers.
White raven [17]

Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16
