Answer:

y = -1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the equation. Simply put it is y = -1/3x + 5/9.

So, we have our slope which is -1/3. Now just plug it in.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

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

Distribute.

y - 2 = -1/3x - 1/3

Add 2 to both sides

you get y=-1/3x + 5/3

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: Ф = 43.95°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 18 ft

distance bottom to is 13 ft

x = angle = ?

Formula

cos Ф = opposite side / hypotenuse

Process

cos Ф = 13 ft / 18 ft substitution

cos Ф = 0.72 simplify

Ф = cos⁻¹ (0.72)

Ф = 43.95° result

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (0,-4)

Arte-miy333 [17]

y = mx + b

To find the slope(m), you use the slope formula:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

You plug in the points into the equation.

$m = \frac{-4 - (-4)}{0 - 2}$

$m = \frac{-4+4}{0-2} = \frac{0}{-2} =0$

The slope is 0

y = 0x + b

Any number multiplied by 0 is 0. So:

y = b

To find b, you plug in the y value of either of the points.

-4 = b

Your equation is:

y = -4 (This is a horizontal line)
