To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
Micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of Jasmine
Micah = 5 inches shorter than 2 x Jasmine
Micah = 2 x Jasmine - 5 <em>(jasmine is 32 inches tall. Replace jasmine with 32)
</em>
Micah = 2 x 32 - 5
Micah = 64 - 5
Micah = 59
Micah is 59 inches tall
So to find the mean you add up all the numbers (or the exam scores) which will get you 212 then you take the number and divide it by the total numbers in the set (how many numbers did you add up?)
212 divided by 8 is 26.5 which would be C. I hope this helps!
1 cm is the base of the triangle
To find x, we simply need to subtract the sum of the other two sides from 73.
35+11=46
73-46=27
So x = 27mm
