Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-2,8) and $(4,6), is written in the point-slope form as $y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-2,8) and (4,6).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-2,8) and (4,6). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute $6 \& 8$ for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and 4&-2 for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows, $m=\frac{6-8}{4-(-2)}$

$$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{-2}{6} \\&m=-\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}$$

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ for m,-2 for $x_{1}$, and 8 for $y_{1}$ in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows, y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-2))$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 8 on each side of the equation $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$, and simplify as follows, $y-8+8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}+8$

$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2+24}{3}$$\\ $$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$$

This is the required linear equation.

Use the three steps to solve the problem.
Flauer [41]

The two numbers are 8,13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

smaller number = x

Larger number = x+5

According to given statement;

Smaller number + Bigger number = 3x-3

x+(x+5)=3x-3\\x+x+5=3x-3\\2x+5+3=3x\\8 = 3x-2x\\8=x\\x=8

Smaller number = 8

Larger number = 8+5 = 13

The two numbers are 8,13.
