Answer:
y = -3x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the given slope and point in the point-slope equation. Solving this will give us the y-intercept equation.
Point-slope formula: y - y = m(x - x)
Plug in the slope and point
y - (-5) = -3(x - (-2))
Subtracting negatives will make them positive. Multiply out the -3 to what is in the parentheses.
y + 5 = -3x - 6
Subtract the 5 from both sides
y = -3x - 11
The equation of the line is y = -3x - 11
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Your weight is (roughly) proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance you are from the center of the earth. If that distance is reduced to 1/4 its previous value, then your weight will be multiplied by the factor ...
1/(1/4)² = 16
You would weigh 16 times as much.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The distribution of mass within the earth also affects your weight.
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).
Combine like terms of the angle measures.
6x + 9x = 15x
-3 + (-12) = -15
15x - 15
Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,
15x - 15 = 90
Add 15 from both sides.
15x = 105
Divide both sides by 15.
x = 7
To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.
6(7) - 3 = 39
9(7) - 12 = 51
39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.
I hope this helped :)
