m = \frac{5}{6} , y - 7 = \frac{5}{6} ( x - 12), y = \frac{5}{6} x - 3

(a) calculate the slope using the gradient formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 8) and (x₂, y₂) = (12, 7)

m = \frac{7+8}{12+6} = \frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6}

(b) the equation of a line in point-slope form is

y - b = m(x - a )

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

using m = \frac{5}{6} and (a , b) = (12, 7 )

y - 7 = \frac{5}{6} (x - 12)

(c) the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange (b ) into this form

y - 7 = \frac{5}{6} - 10

y = \frac{5}{6} x - 3

9m + 7n2 - 4 + 6m + 5
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

15m+7n2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can add 9m and 6m. Then you will get 15m. Then you would add -4 and 5, you would get 1. So the new equation would be the answer. Since 7n2 doesn’t have another variable to connect to.
