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

I found the correct image that accompanies this problem and edited it with my answers.. Pls. see attachment.

Based on the attachment, the correct statements are:

1) DO,2 (x,y) = (2x, 2y)
2) Side Q'S' lies on a line with a slope of -1.
Q'(-6,6) S'(-2,2)
m = y1 - y2 / x1 - x2
m = 6 - 2 / -6 - (-2)
m = 4 / -4
m = -1
5) The distance from Q' to the origin is twice the distance from Q to the origin.

Q + 5/9= 1/6 from big ideas mathbook

Alika [10]

9We have such eqation
Q $+ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{1}{6}$ /*9 (multiply both sides by 9)
9Q+5= $\frac{9}{6}$ /-5 both sides
9Q= $\frac{9}{6}- 5$
9Q= $\frac{9}{6}- \frac{5*6}{6}$
9Q= $\frac{9-30}{6}$
9Q=- $\frac{21}{6}$ /:9 divide both sides by 9
Q=- $\frac{21}{6}:9$
Q $\frac{21}{6*9} =- \frac{21}{54}=[tex] \frac{7}{18}$ - its the answer

from the given equation

X+Y=20-->i

X-Y=14--->ii

add eq i and eq ii

2x=34

x=17

putting the value of x=17 in eq i

17+y=20

then y = 3 so the right answer is
