The absolute value can tell you the distance from zero on the number line. 
For example, |-8| = 8 that mean the distance from zero (absolute value) is 8.

Complete the equation of the line through (-10,-7)(−10,−7)(, minus, 10, comma, minus, 7, )and (-5,-9)(−5,−9)(, minus, 5, comma,
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the slope is determined by using the following expression:

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

m = \frac{-7-(-9)}{-10 - (-5)}

m = -\frac{2}{5}

The y-intercept is found by using the line equation, the slope and one point:

y = m \cdot x +b

b = y - m\cdot x

b = -7 - \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\cdot (-10)

b = -11

The equation of the line is:

y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11

What is the slope? helpppp?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

slope: -(9/8)

y-intercept: 7

equation: y = -(9/8)x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the slope.

<em>m</em> (slope) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Let:

(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -2)

(x₂ , y₂) = (0 , 7)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

<em>m </em>= (7 - (-2))/(0 - 8)

<em>m</em> = (7 + 2)/(0 - 8)

<em>m</em> = 9/-8

Your slope is -(9/8)

Solve for the y-intercept. Plug in your slope into the slope intercept form:

y = mx + b

Let:

(x , y) = (0 , 7) & m = -(9/8)

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

7 = -(9/8)(0) + b

Simplify:

7 = (-9/8 * 0) + b

7 = (0) + b

b = 7

Your y-intercept is 7.

At a regional soccer​ tournament, tickets for two adults and seven students cost ​$60. Tickets for three adults and eleven stude
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The price of an adult ticket is $9 and the price of a student ticket is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the price of an adult ticket and y is the price of a student ticket:

2x + 7y = 60

3x + 11y = 93

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -2, to cancel out the x terms:

6x + 21y = 180

-6x - 22y = -186

Add them together:

-y = -6

y = 6

Then, plug in 6 as y into one of the equations to solve for x:

2x + 7y = 60

2x + 7(6) = 60

2x + 42 = 60

2x = 18

x = 9

So, the price of an adult ticket is $9 and the price of a student ticket is $6
