write the equation of the line that passes through (2, 4) and has a slope of –1 in point-slope form. x – 4 = –1(y – 2) x – 2 = –

1(y – 4) y – 2 = –1(x – 4) y – 4 = –1(x – 2)

The point-slope form: $y-y_0=m(x-x_0)$

m = -1; (2; 4) $\to x_0=2;\ y_0=4$

subtitute

y - 2 = -1(x - 4)

Write the Equation of the line in slope intercept form<br> (0, -3), (7.5,0)

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, start off by solving for the slope using this formula:

$\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Then, plug in the values: $\frac{0-(-3)}{7.5-0}$

Solve the equation: $\frac{3}{7.5}$

That's your slope.

Then plug in one of the coordinates given in the problem for x and y and solve this equation:

y= $\frac{3}{7.5}$ x+b

Hope that helped!!! :)

Given it's midpoint and one endpoint apply the midpoint formula and solve for x and y midpoint (22,15) endpoint (18,6

Nutka1998 [239]

Midpoint formula

mid of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
$( \frac{x2+x1}{2}, \frac{y2+y1}{2})$

so

(22,15)= $( \frac{18+x1}{2}, \frac{6+y1}{2})$
therefor

22= $\frac{18+x1}{2}$
and
15= $\frac{6+y1}{2}$

slv each
22= $\frac{18+x1}{2}$
times both sides by 2
44=18+x1
minus 18 both sides
26=x1

15= $\frac{6+y1}{2}$
times both sides by 2
30=6+y1
minus 6
24=y1

the other point is (26,24)

jeka94

1 hr = 60 minutes....so 6 hrs = (6 * 60) = 360 minutes

198 / 360 = 0.55 mousetraps per minute

no, 2 mousetraps per minute is not accurate

Mackenzie picked 20 strawberries, 5 blueberries, and 15 raspberries. What was the ratio of the number of strawberries to the tot

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

20:40

Step-by-step explanation:

Because part of the ratio is the total number of berries, we need to add up all of the berries.

20+15+5=40

The number of strawberries picked is 20, so the ratio is 20:40
