The way that you find this problem is to first find the slope, and then input one of your points into your equation to find b.
The slope-intercept form of a line is: y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To find the slope, you must use the following equation:
\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this equation, this would be equivalent to:\frac{-6-(-5)}{-7-(-1)} which, when simplified, is \frac{1}{6}. This is your slope.

To find the Y-intercept, you just plug all variables that you currently have solved for into the equation. You may use either point for the x and y variables, but you must use \frac{1}{6} for the m term.

-6 = (\frac{1}{6})(-7) + b leads to -6 = \frac{-7}{6} +b which leads to \frac{-29}{6} = b. You have now solved for the y-intercept and aare ready to form your final equation.

The final equation is:y=\frac{1}{6}x -\frac{29}{6}

Construct a line that is perpendicular to
kodGreya [7K]
1) The line will need to be vertical down the point of x, meaning draw a line down point x. Perpendicular lines look similar to t’s
2.) Same thing, just draw a line through point O and the line. They should look similar to t’s
Hope this helped!! I understand math can get really hard, soon it’ll all be over :)

I did 12 squared + 16 squared = 400 and then I did √400 = 20 so y = 20. Is this answer correct?

Solve the linear system using substitution <br><br> y - 5 = x<br> 4x - y = 4
Agata [3.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

X=y-5

Now,

4x-y=4

4(y-5)-y=4

4y-20-y=4

3y=24

Y=8

Substituting the value of y

8-5=x

X=3

J and M are base angles of isosceles trapezoid JKLM. If mJ = 20x + 9, and mM = 14x + 15, find mK.
Rainbow [258]
20x + 9 = 14x + 15 
<span>6x = 6 </span>
<span>x = 1 </span>

<span> So base angles are 20 + 9 means 29 degrees. To calculate the m of  angle k, subtract 29 from 180: </span>

<span>180 - 29 = 151 degrees.
hope it helps</span>
