Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is always the coefficient of x divided by the coefficient of y (if they are on opposite sides of the "=")
SO...
-2/1 = -2 = Slope
Answer:
(x+y) / 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Kate needs to read 2 books
she's not sure how many pages are in each book.
Let
Number of pages in the first book = x
Number of pages in the second book = y
Total pages of the two books = x + y
Kate's summer vacation = 72 days
she is planning to read the same number of pages each day of her summer vacation.
Number of pages she will need to read each day = (x+y) pages / 72 days
Number of pages she will need to read each day = (x+y) / 72

point 1 = ( -1 , 5 ) point 2 = ( 5 , -5 )
equation of a line: y = mx + b
Find Slope (m):
( 5 - (-5)) / (-1 - 5))
= 10 / -6
= -3 / 2
slope = -3/2
Find y-intercept (b):
y = mx + b
y = -3/2 * x + b
5 = -3/2 * -1 + b <-------------- use the x and y coordinate of one of the . points. I used point 1 ( -1 , 5 )
b = 7/2 or 3.5
Assemble:
y = -3/2 * x + 3.5
