Consecutive numbers are always 1 away from each other
3,4
so consecutive is represented by
x and x+1
so sum is -171
x+x+1=-171
add like terms
2x+1=-171
subtract 1 from both sides
2x=-172
divide both sides by 2
x=-86
subustitute
x+1=otehr number
x+1=-86+1=-85
answer is -85 and -86
Answer:This line contains no two such points. Hence the slope is not defined. A y intercept occurs when we make x equal to 0 . Since this is prohibited by the equation x=−3 , there is no y intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is vertical change over horizontal change. Since coordinates conveniently give both the horizontal and vertical coordinates of a points, we can use the coordinates of both points to differentiate, or find the change horizontally and the change vertically between the two points.
Answer:
the coordinates would be (3,6)
m=-(5/4)
From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.
The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.
In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.
To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.
To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.
With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.
