Answer:

b = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, 3)

m = \frac{3+5}{-6+4} = \frac{8}{-2} = - 4

y = - 4x + b ← is the partial equation

to find b substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation

using (- 4, - 5 ), then

- 5 = 16 + b ⇒ b = - 5 - 16 = - 21

Answer: -21

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the equation of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

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

Then , the equation of a line passing through points J(-4, -5) and K(-6, 3) is given by :-

(y-(-5))=\dfrac{3-(-5)}{-6-(-4)}(x-(-4))\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y+5)=\dfrac{8}{-2}(x+4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+5=-4(x+4))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+5=-4x-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-4x-21

Comparing to the general intercept form of equation y = mx + b, we get

The value of b=-21

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It would be "a sentence that includes two independent clauses connected by a conjunction" which is Choice B.

Choice A wouldn't work as there needs to be two or more independent clauses for it to be a Compound Sentence.

<u>Choice B would work, as it follows the definition of a Compound Sentence.</u>

Choice C wouldn't work, that would be a Complex Sentence

Choice D wouldn't, that would be a Simple Sentence.

Also, note that this question is something for the Language Arts section.

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area of Cuboid= 2(6x3)+2(6x10)+2(3x10)=216m²

Surface Area of Sphere= 4πr²

                                       = 4xπx6²

                                       = 144πm²

Surface Area= 144π+216
