The equation of the line that passes through the points (-6 , 2) and (-4 , -1) is 3x + 2y = -14 .

In the question ,

two points are given as (-6 , 2) and (-4 , -1) .

we need to find the equation of the line passing through the given points .

to find the equation First we need to find the slope ,

slope = (-1-2)/(-4-(-6))

slope = -3/(-4 + 6)

slope = -3/2

So , the equation of the line passing through the point (-6 , 2) with slope -3/2 is

(y - 2) = (-3/2)(x - (-6))

y - 2 = (-3/2)(x + 6)

y - 2 = (-3/2)x - 9

y = (-3/2)x - 9 + 2

y = (-3/2)x - 7

2y = -3x - 14

3x + 2y = -14

Therefore , The equation of the line that passes through the points (-6 , 2) and (-4 , -1) is 3x + 2y = -14 .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

Write the equation for the line that passes through the point (-6, 2) and (-4,-1) , write the answer in fully reduced form .

Five-sixths of the boats in the marina are white, 2 5 of the remaining boats are blue, and the rest are red. If there are 12 red

Inga [223]

Answer: There are 120 boats in the marina.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that there are N boats

We know that 5/6 of them are white, then we have: (5/6)*N white boats.

The remaining is: N - (5/6)*N = (1/6)*N

We know that 2/5 of the remaining are blue, then we have:

(2/5)*(1/6)*N blue boats

And the rest are red, the rest is:

(1/6)*N - (2/5)*(1/6)*N = (3/5)*(1/6)*N

Then we have (3/5)*(1/6)*N red boats.

And we know that there are 12 red boats, then:

(3/5)*(1/6)*N = 12

Now we can solve this for N, which is the total number of boats in the marina.

N = 12*(6)*(5/3) = 120

There are 120 boats in the marina.

Gulf gully and jump rope road are a pretty far distance.If the scale for the map is 0.5 inches=2.3 miles,what is the actual dist

mezya [45]

Answer:

12 cm = 21.62 miles

6 cm = 11.04 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance, set up a proportion. A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by using corresponding values. We write a ratio of $\frac{map}{real world}$ and simplify.

We know $\frac{map}{real world}=\frac{0.5in}{2.3 miles}$ . We know the distance on the map is 12 cm and 6 cm whish converts to 4.7 inches and 2.4 inches. We can write $\frac{4.7in}{xmiles}$ and $\frac{2.4in}{xmiles}$
