First, solve for slope.
Formula for slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}
Plug in values:\frac{-5-7}{0-2} =  \frac{-12}{-2} = 6
Slope: 6
Second, we must plug into point-slope form. 
Formula for point-slope: y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Plug in the values: y - 7 = 6(x-2)
Solve. 
y - 7 = 6(x-2) 

y - 7 = 6x - 12

Add 7 both sides. 

y = 6x - 5
So the equation is: y = 6x - 5

((-5) - 7) / (0-2) = slope because equation for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1. Then the y-intercept is already given. So slope is -12/-2 = 6 so, y= mx + b, meaning mx is slope of -6x and b being -5. Therefore the equation is y = -6x - 5. Hope this helps!

Find area of a parallelogram with a height of 8 inches and a base of 14 inches
12345 [234]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{112 \:  {inches} \: ^{2} }}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of a parallelogram ( h ) = 8 inches

Base of a parallelogram ( b ) = 14 inches

Area of a parallelogram ( A ) = ?

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>area</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>a</u><u> </u><u>parallelogram</u>

<u>\boxed{ \sf{area \: of \: parallelogram \:  =  \: base \:  \times  \: height}}</u>

⇒<u>\sf{area \: of \: parallelogram \:  =  \: 14  \: \times 8}</u>

⇒<u>\sf{area \: of \: parallelogram = 112 \:  {inches}^{2} }</u>

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Points O, A, B lie on the same line. OA = 12 cm, OB = 9 cm. Find the distance between the midpoints of segments OA and OB if: Po
12345 [234]
Short Answer: 1.5
Givens
OA = 12
OB = 9
O does not lie on AB

Argument
The order that these lines must be in is OBA. O is on your left, B is in the middle and A is on your right. 

Mark your distances as follows.
OB = 9
BA = 3

Mark the midpoint of OA = M1
Mark the midpoint of OB = M2

M1 = 12 / 2 = 6 so M1 is 6 units from O
M2 = 9/2 = 4.5

The distance between the two midpoints is 6 - 4.5 = 1.5
Answer M1 - M2  = 1.5 <<<<

Nice problem: Thanks for posting.
