A line passes through the point (0, –1) and has a slope of -2/3. What is the equation of the line?

Y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We have the slope of -2/3, so put that instead of m:

y = -2/3x + b

The y-intercept is at (0, -1), so put -1 for b.

y = -2/3 - 1

y=-2/3x-1

is the equation

Find the distance between the points (-21, 17) and (33, 17)

Norma-Jean [14]

Plug it into the distance formula.

d= (sqrt) (x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2

d= (sqrt) (17-17)^2 + (33-(-21)^2
d=(sqrt) (0)^2 + (33 +21)^2
d= (sqrt) (54)^2
d= (sqrt) 2916
d=54

The distance is 54 units.

I hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations. <br><br> 10x+y=−20 <br><br> y=2x2−4x−16<br><br> ( , ) and ( , )

Sladkaya [172]

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.

First, convert the equations.

10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12

Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.

6x = -8

Third, you want to solve the equation.

6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x = $-1 \frac{1}{3}$

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.

10( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ ) + y = -20
$-13 \frac{1}{3}$ + y = -20 (subtract $-13 \frac{1}{3}$ )
y = $-6 \frac{2}{3}$

The solution for this system of equations is ( $-1 \frac{1}{3}$ , $-6 \frac{2}{3}$ ).
