First figure out the slope, the equation is Y2-Y1/ X2-X1.. m=-3/4 So far your equation is y=-3/4x + b. b is the y intercept. Plug in either points in the equation to have so far.. you will receive 7/4. The equation is y=-3/4 + 7/4

Answer: 4y=-3x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)

The equation of a line passing through (5, -2) and (-3, 4) is given by :-

(y-(-2))=\dfrac{4-(-2)}{-3-5}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+2=\dfrac{6}{-8}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+2=\dfrac{-3}{4}(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4(y+2)=-3(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y+8=-3x+15\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=-3x-7

Given the two points what is the slope of the line?<br> (4,2) (10.4)
zlopas [31]

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\ m=\frac{4-2}{10-4} \\m = \frac{2}{6} \\\\m=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/3. In case if you want the equation too.

y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\ 2=\frac{1}{3}(4)+b\\ 2=\frac{4}{3}+b\\ b=-\frac{4}{3}+2\\ b=-\frac{4}{3} +\frac{6}{3}\\ b=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, the equation is y=1/3x+2/3

A rectangular skateboard park has an area of x^2+15x+56 what are the possible dimensions
alexira [117]
For this case we have the following expression:
 x ^ 2 + 15x + 56
 We can factor this expression to find the possible dimensions of the rectangle.
 Factoring we have:
 (x + 7) (x + 8)
 Answer:
 
the possible dimensions are:
 
(x + 7) * (x + 8)
