Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-4,-1) and (2,8)

klio [65]

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Calculate the slope with two given coordinate points by using rise over run.

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Let these points

$\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4, - 1) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 2, 8) \end{cases}$

$m = \frac{8 - ( - 1)}{2 - ( - 4)} \\ m = \frac{8 + 1}{2 + 4} \Longrightarrow \frac{9}{6} \Longrightarrow \frac{3}{2} \\ m = \frac{3}{2}$

Slope-Intercept

$y = mx + b \\ m = slope \\ b = y - intercept$

Substitute the value of m in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + b$

Substitute any coordinate points that are given or part of the graph in the equation.

$(x_, y) = ( - 4, - 1)$

$- 1 = \frac{3}{2} ( - 4) + b$

Solve the equation for b-term.

$- 1 = \frac{3}{ \cancel{2}} ( \cancel{ - 4}) + b\\ - 1 = 3( - 2) + b \\ - 1 = - 6 + b \\ - 1 + 6 = b \\ 5 = b$

Rewrite the equation by substituting the value of b in the equation.

$y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5$

<h3>Answer</h3>

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{3}{2} x + 5}$

Which statement is true about the equations –3x + 4y = 12 and 1/4x –1/3 y = 1?The system of the equations has exactly one soluti

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The system of the equations has no solution; the two lines are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations have the same slope. In standard form, this can be seen as the same coefficients for x and y. We will multiply the second equation by -12 to reveal this.

$\frac{1}{4} x-\frac{1}{3}y=1 \\-12(\frac{1}{4} x-\frac{1}{3}y=1)\\\frac{-12}{4} x-\frac{-12}{3}y=-12\\-3x+4y=-12$

This means the equations are parallel and will never cross. There is no solution.

Can someone please help me

<h3>Answer: Choice D) 3n^2</h3>

"mono" means "one". I often think of "monorail" which means "one rail" to help remember this. So "monomial" means "one term". This reduces our choices to either C or D, as they show one term each. Choices A and B are ruled out as these are binomials, showing two terms each.

Choice C shows a cubic monomial since the exponent here is 3. So the degree is 3. We can rule out choice C.

Choice D has a 2nd degree monomial because the exponent is 2. The leading coefficient is 3 as this is the number to the left of the variable term. All of choice D fits with the description of "A monomial of the 2nd degree with leading coefficient of 3"

A track coach made a two way table to show his runners gender and running category. Male: Sprints- 16 Middle distance- 11 Long d

hram777 [196]

There are 9 long distance male runners and 5 long distance female runners. This makes a total of 9+5 = 14 long distance runners.

Out of this total of 14 long distance runners, there are 9 males. So the probability as a fraction is 9/14

If you need the answer in decimal form, then use a calculator to get 9/14 = 0.642857 which is approximate.
