Answer:

y = -3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

First, we find the slope of the line using the two given points.

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-7))/(-1 - 2) = (2 + 7)/(-3) = 9/(-3) = -3

Now we plug in the slope we found into the equation above.

y = -3x + b

We need to find the value of b, the y-intercept. We use the coordinates of one of the given points for x and y, and we solve for b. Let's use point (2, -7), so x = 2, and y = -7.

y = -3x + b

-7 = -3(2) + b

-7 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-1 = b

Now we plug in -1 for b.

y = -3x - 1

Find the side length of a square whose area is 121 ft^2
kogti [31]

Answer:

The side length is 11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given by

A = s^2 where s is the side length

121 ft^2 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt( 121 ft^2) = sqrt(s^2)

11 ft = s

The side length is 11 ft

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Total angle measurement for a triangle is 180°

Equilateral triangle measures 60 on all angles. (60 + 60 + 60 = 180°)

This triangle is equilateral so it's angle is 60°.

Why is it equilateral? Because all sides of the triangle are equal (10 on all sides).

Hope this helps

sasho [114]

Answer:

98

The answer is 98 because since the farmer's market sold 35% of its produce and has 280 peaches remaining you have to turn 35% into a decimal which is 0.35 then multiply that times 280 and get 98.
