Answer:

The Standard Form of the Equation is A. 2x - 5y = -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points: (-5, -1) and (10, -7).

Find the slope:

m = (y - y1)/(x - x1)

= -1 - (-7)/-5 - 10

= -1 + 7/-15

= 6/-15

m = -2/5

You already had the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-7) = -2/5(x - 10)

y + 7 = -2/5(x - 10)

The rest of the question is looking for the standard form of the equation:

Ax + By = C

Begin by solving the point slope form for y:

y + 7 = -2/5x + 20/5

y + 7 = -2/5x + 4

y = -2/5x - 3

Now, put the equation into the standard form:

y + 2/5x = -3

Multiply by 5, and place x first:

2x + 5y = -15, the Standard form of the Equation

Prove by setting x = 0 and finding the y intercept:

5y + 2(0) = -15

5y = -15

y = -3, giving the y intercept, when x = 0 as -3 or (0, -3)

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

A quadrilateral has vertices (2, 0), (0, –2), (–2, 4), and (–4, 2). Which special quadrilateral is formed by connecting the midp
Elden [556K]
The first step to take is to plot the coordinates of the figure. Next, we caculate the distances of the sides of the polygon using distance formula given the coordinates of points. Next we get the midpoint of each side and connect them to each other. we calculate again the distances. The resulting figure is composed of four congruent sides but the angles are not perpendicular. The answer is D. rhombus

If figure 1 has 4 tiles, fig 2 has 10, and fig 3 has 16... What is my rule?
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Add 6 each time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure 1 has 4 tiles.

To go from figure 1 (4 tiles) to figure 2 (10 tiles), you added 6 tiles.

To go from figure 2 (10 tiles) to figure 3 (16 tiles), you added 6 tiles.

∴ the rule is to add 6 tiles each time.

Bojangles has a rectangular shaped roof with a width of 6x2 feet and a length 12x3. what is the area of the roof?
iren2701 [21]
Area of rectangle = length x width

this is the formula to find it.

now , put the values of length and width,
=> area= 12 x 3 x 6 x 2

=> area =  432 feet^2

At a carnival game, you randomly throw two darts at the board and break two balloons. What is the probability that both the ball
Amanda [17]
4/15 of the balloons are purple. You have two darts. There are 105 combinations of hitting two balloons out of the 15. There are 6 combinations of purple balloons to be hit. This (Purple combinations over total combinations) is your probability. 6/105 simplified to 2/35 or 2:35
So your chance of picking the purple balloons, both purple, out is 2 in 35 or 2/35
