To find slope, use the equation:
slope = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}<span>
<span>where x_{2} and y_{2} are the x and y values of one coordinate point, and x_{1} and y_{1} are the x and y values of another coordinate point . Since we are given two coordinate points, that means we can find the slope using the slope equation.

</span></span>

Let's choose (6, 0) as your (x_{2},&#10;y_{2}) point and (0, -2) as your (x_{1}, y_{1}) point, but you can switch those if you want! That makes x_{2} = 6, y_{2} = 0 and x_{1} = 0, y_{1} = -2. Plug these values into the slope equation and simplify:

\frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\&#10; = \frac{ 0 - (-2) }{6-0} \\&#10; = \frac{2}{6} \\&#10;=  \frac{1}{3}

Answer: Slope = \frac{1}{3}

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -8) and has a slope of 1/3
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in point-slope form)</u>:

y + 8 = \frac{1}{3} (x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, y-y_1 = m (x-x_1), to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the m , x_1, and y_1 in the formula to do so.

The m represents the slope, so substitute \frac{1}{3} in its place. The x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for x_1 and -8 for y_1. This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:  

y-(-8) = \frac{1}{3} (x-(-6))\\y + 8 = \frac{1}{3} (x+6)

Cindy has printed 45 pages. Each page has 18 stickers
prisoha [69]

Answer:

810 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 18 stickers per page, we need to use multiplication to calulate how many stickers we have total.

Our problem is 45*18, since we have 45 pages, each with 18 stickers.

45*18=810

Cindy has 810 stickers in all.

Hope this helps!

Describe the graph of the function.y = |x – 4| – 7
juin [17]
This is always ''interesting'' If you see an absolute value, you always need to deal with when it is zero:

(x-4)=0 ===> x=4,

so that now you have to plot 2 functions!

For x<= 4: what's inside the absolute value (x-4) is negative, right?, then let's make it +, by multiplying by -1:

|x-4| = -(x-4)=4-x
Then:

for x<=4, y = -x+4-7 = -x-3

for x=>4, (x-4) is positive, so no changes:

y= x-4-7 = x-11,

Now plot both lines. Pick up some x that are 4 or less, for y = -x-3, and some points that are 4 or greater, for y=x-11

In fact, only two points are necessary to draw a line, right? So if you want to go full speed, choose:

x=4 and x= 3 for y=-x-3

And just x=5 for y=x-11

The reason is that the absolute value is continuous, so x=4 works for both:

x=4===> y=-4-3 = -7

x==4 ====> y = 4-11=-7!

abs() usually have a cusp int he point where it is =0

Hope it helps, despite being this long!
