x = -1/3

Explanation:

-3x-2=-1

collect like terms by adding +2 to both sides:

-3x -2 + 2 = -1 + 2

-3x = 1

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x:

coefficient of x = -3

-3x/-3 = 1/-3

x = -1/3

I really hate summer school help plz

Elena L [17]

This is a same side interior angle, which means that the two angles, when added, will equal 180°

y + 72 = 180

Isolate the y, subtract 72 from both sides

y + 72 (-72) = 180 (-72)

y = 180 - 72

y = 108

A) 108°, is your answer

hope this helps

Find the slope of the line through each pair of points (6, -10) , (-15 , 15)

dem82 [27]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto The \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ is \ \dfrac{-25}{21}.}}}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Two points are given to us and we need to find the slope of the line . The slope of the line passing through points $\bf (x_1,y_1 ) \ \& \ (x_2,y_2)$ is given by ,

$\qquad\boxed{\red{\bf Slope = tan\theta=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}$

Here , the points are ,

( 6 , -10 )
( -15 , 15 )

$\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{15-(-10)}{-15-6} \\\\\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{15+10}{-21}\\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{-1(25)}{-1(-21)}\\\\ \bf\implies\boxed{\red{\bf Slope =\dfrac{-25}{21}}}$
