Answer:

y = -1/2(x -2)

or

y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

For point-slope form, you need two things:

  • A point (x1, y1)
  • The slope (m)

Given:

  • Points (-6, 4) and (2,0)

You already have at least one point, but you still need to find the slope.

To find the slope (m), use the formula: m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1

  • Select which point is your (x2, y2) and which is your (x1, y1)
  • NOTE: It doesn't matter which one you pick as long as you don't "mix-and-match" your x and y-coordinates
  • For example: you can't choose (-6,0) for a point.

I've chosen:

  • (x2, y2) = (2, 0)
  • (x1, y1) = (-6, 4)

Plug in the info into m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1:

  • m = 0 - 4/2 -(-6) = -4/2 + 6 = -4/8
  • Simplify: -4/8 = -1/2
  • m = -1/2

Now plug in the slope and ONE of the points into point-slope form

  • Tip: It doesn't matter which point you choose but I'd recommend choosing the point with all positive numbers, if you can, to prevent the confusion of double negatives:

Answers could be:

  • y = -1/2(x -2)
  • y - 4 = -1/2(x + 6)

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused
Veronika [31]
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible. 

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

11.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right triangle formed by the tent pole, the ground and the guy rope,  where the guy rope (g) is the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

g² = 9² + 7² = 81 + 49 = 130 ( take the square root of both sides )

g = \sqrt{130} ≈ 11.4 feet
