Answer:
In decimal 0.428571428
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) y2 = 16, y1 = 19x2=2 and x1=9
The slope = (16 - 19)/(2 -9)
The slope = (-3)/(-7)
The slope = 0.428571428
So in decimal form the coordinates are going to be written as 0.428571428
Slope is the steepness of a line, it is the difference between the y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates.
Answer:
y= -2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>slope- intercept form</u><u>:</u>
y= mx +c, where m us the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
Let's find the value of m first using the gradient formula.
Gradient= 

y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x= -1, y=3,
3= -2(-1) +c
3= 2 +c
c= 3 -2
c= 1
Thus the equation of the line is y= -2x +1.
The 2 lines are parallel, so the 2 sides(e.g. 1 and 2/ 3 and 49) add up = 180 and In this case the 2 sides are equal as u can see from the original diagram so the angle of 2 is 180-49=131.
Multiply 3x9 and it gives u 27
And -3 plus -9 equal -12
Somewhere in the text, it must say that x = 2 and y = -1 or else, the values just seem made up out of thin air.
