Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the line</u>

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

Let

A(-6,7)\\B(-3,6)

substitute the values

m=\frac{(6-7)}{(-3+6)}

m=\frac{(-1)}{(3)}

m=-1/3

Step 2

with the slope m and the point A(-6,7) find the equation of the line

we know that

the equation of the line in the point-slope form is equal to

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

substitute the values

y-7=(-1/3)*(x+6)

y=(-1/3)x-2+7

y=(-1/3)x+5

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=(-1/3)x+5

The equation of the line which passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math x+3y=15\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

It is given that the line passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6).

Consider the point (-6,7) as (x_{1},y_{1}) and (-3,6) as (x_{2},y_{2}).

Two points are given through which the line passes so, in order to determine the equation of the line use the two point form equation.

The general representation of the two point form of a equation is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=\left(\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\right)(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}                             (1)

In the above equation the expression \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} is called slope.

Slope of a line is represented as m and the expression for m is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}       (2)

Substitute m for \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} in equation (1).

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}   (3)

To calculate the value of slope substitute the value of x_{1},x_{2},y_{1} and y_{2} in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{6-7}{-3+6}\\&=\dfrac{-1}{3}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the value of slope of the line is \frac{-1}{3}.

To obtain the equation of the line substitute the value of m, x_{1} and y_{1} in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}(y-7)&=\frac{-1}{3}(x+6)\\3y-21&=-x-6\\x+3y&=15\end{aligned}

Therefore, the equation of the line is x+3y=15.

Thus, the equation of the line which passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math x+3y=15\\\end{minispace}}.

Help Please<br> Solve for y : | y | = 16 . <br> y= ____ , ____
velikii [3]
Y = 16, -16

explanation: the absolute value bars make the expression inside positive, if they were negative to begin with. so, a negative number like -16 becomes 16, and a positive number like 16 still stays the same

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

a) 30

b) 88

c) 70

d) 16

e) 160

f) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first step would be to switch the numbers around. For example A would be 15 and 50 instead of the original order of 50 and 15. You would then take the 1st number in the new arranged order (15) and multiply it by 100, then divide in that order. 1500/50 = 30.

Another example, letter B.

Step 1 - Rearrange : 22 and 25

Step 2 - Multiple by 100 =  2200

Step 3 - Divide : 2200/25 = 88

Good Luck :) Hope this helped.
