Answer:

The answer to your question is  m = -5/3      

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point 1 = (1, -6)

Point 2 = (-8, 9)

Process

To find the slope just substitute the values in the formula and simplify.

Formula

slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

-Identify x1, y1, x2 and y2

  x1 = 1    y1 = -6   x2 = -8  y2 = 9

-Substitution

             m = (9 + 6) / (-8 - 1)

-Simplification

             m = 15/-9

-Result

             m = -5/3

How do i find a formula for "1+3+5+7+......+(2n-1)
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

common difference d=3-1=2

first term a=1

an=a+(n-1)d

2n-1=1+(l-1)2

2n-1=1+2l-2

2n-1=2l-1

l=n

(i used l for number of terms)

number of terms=n

S_{n}=\frac{n}{2} (first ~term+last~term)\\=\frac{n}{2} (1+2n-1)\\=n^2

Line / is parallel to line m. The slope of line / is 2/7. What is the slope of line M ?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The slope would also be 2/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two lines are parallel, meaning that they follow the same slope. If line / has a slope of 2/7, then line M must have the same slope as well. I hope this helps! :)
