Answer:

y = -3x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to recommend this particular method for finding the slope of a  line through two given points:

Notice that if we move from (3, -1) to (5, -7), the horizontal distance covered (the "run") is 2 and the vertical change (the "rise") is -6.  Thus, the slope is m = rise / run = -6 / 2, or -3.

Starting with y = mx + b, replace y with -7 and x with 5, and m with -3:

-7 = -3(5) + b    ...  we must find b.

-7 = -15 + b    yields b = 8

and so the equation of this line is y = -3x + 8.

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 5 = -2

Place the dot on -2 on the number line that is on your problem as the answer. To show the steps on the number line, use your jumps to go back. For example, your starting point will be on 3, and then use your jumps to go back by 5; that means you go into the negatives. For this case, it is -2.

Radda [10]

Answer:

a=567 km+900 km

a=1,467 km

b=567 km+169 km

b=736 km

x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1

x^2/(1,467)^2+y^2/(736)^2=1
