Answer:

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the slope of EF

Assume E is at (-2, 5) and F is at (1, 3).

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (3 - 5)/(1 -(-2)) = -⅔

2. Calculate the slope of the parallel line

m₂ = m₁ = -⅔

3. Calculate its y-intercept

y = mx + b

6 =-⅔(2) + b

Simplify

6 = -⁴/₃ + b

Add ⁴/₃ to each side

b = 6 + ⁴/₃ = ¹⁸/₃ + ⁴/₃ = ²²/₃

The y-intercept is at (0,²²/₃).

4. Write the equation for the line

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃

The diagram shows EF in red. The parallel line in black passes through (2, 6) with a y-intercept at (0,²²/₃).

What are the slope between (-5,-2) and (8,13)​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The slope:

m = \frac{15}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

-To determine the slope of the following points shown, you need this formula:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}

(m represents the slope, (x_{1}, y_{1}) represents the first coordinate and (x_{2},y_{2}) represents the second coordinate)

-Apply the following points to the formula:

m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}

Then, solve:

m = \frac{13 + 2}{8 + 5}

m = \frac{15}{13}

So, the slope is \frac{15}{13}.
