What is the value of y in the equation 4(5y − 8 − 2) = 185 − 15?

4(5y-8-2) = 185-15
20y-32-8 = 170
20y-40 = 170
+40 +40
20y = 210
Divide both sides by 20
Y= 10.5

In his Fourth of July speech, Douglass says that "above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the wail of millions.” To what is

krok68 [10]

I think that what Frederick Douglass meant by the "wail of millions" is that while the 4th of July is a great day to be celebrated by non-African American people as it meant the true independence of the 13 colonies from Great Britain and freedom for many of its citizens, in fact slavery is still intact at the time of his speech in 1852 and so July 4th cannot be celebrated by the vast majority of the black people in the US who are still under the terrible yoke of slavery.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,−8) and (1,7). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope for

ValentinkaMS [17]

Point-slope form of equation is: $y - 7 = -15(x-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(2,-8) and (1,7)

First of all we have to calculate the slope of the line

so,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\= \frac{7-(-8)}{1-2}\\=\frac{7+8}{-1}\\=\frac{15}{-1}\\= -15$

Point-slope form is given by:

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Putting the value of slope

$y-y_1 = -15(x-x_1)$

We can put any one of two given points in the equation to find the final form of point-slope form

So

Putting (1,7) in the equation

$y - 7 = -15(x-1)$

Hence, point-slope form of equation is: $y - 7 = -15(x-1)$

Reducing and simplifying

$y - 7 = -15(x-1)\\y-7 = -15x+15\\y-7+7 =-15x+15-7\\y = -15x+8\\15x+y = 8$
