The equation of the line that passes through the points \left({ - 3,7}\right) and \left({9, - 1}\right) is \boxed{2x + 3y = 15} .

Further explanation:

The linear equation with slope m and intercept c is given as follows.

\boxed{y = mx + c}

The formula for slope of line with points \left({{x_1},{y_1}}\right) and \left({{x_2},{y_2}}\right) can be expressed as,

\boxed{m=\frac{{{y_2}-{y_1}}}{{{x_2}-{x_1}}}}

Given:

The passes through the points are \left({ - 3,7}\right) and \left({9, - 1}\right) .

Explanation:

The line passes the points that are \left({ - 3,7}\right) and \left({9, - 1}\right).

The slope of the line can be obtained as follows.

\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{{ - 1 - 7}}{{9-\left({ - 3}\right)}}\\&=\frac{{ - 8}}{{12}}\\&=-\frac{2}{3}\\\end{aligned}

The slope of the line is m =  - \frac{2}{3}.

The line passes through the point \left({9, - 1}\right).

Substitute 9 for x, - \frac{2}{3} for m and -1 for y in equation y = mx + c to obtain the value of c.

\begin{aligned}-1&=\frac{{-2}}{3}\left(9\right)+c\\-1&=-2\left(3\right)+c\\-1&=-6+c\\-1+6&=c\\5&=c\\\end{aligned}

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points \left({ - 3,7}\right) and \left({9, - 1}\right) is \boxed{2x + 3y = 15}.

First find the slope of the line.

m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), in this case:

m=(-1-7)/(9--3)

m=-8/12

m=-2/3

You did not specify which form of the line you wanted.

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

y=-2x/3+b, using pint (9,-1) we can solve for b, the y-intercept...

-1=-2(9)/3+b

-1=-6+b

5=b  then we have:

y=-2x/3+5 or more neatly

y=(-2x+15)/3

Point-slope form of a line is:

y-y1=m(x-x1), again using (9,-1) as the point and m=-2/3 you get:

y+1=(-2/3)(x-9)

Standard form of a line is ax+by+c:

We can rearrange y=(-2x+15)/3 to standard form

y=(-2x+15)/3  multiply both sides by 3

3y=-2x+15  add 2x to both sides

2x+3y=15

Please help!! I’ve been struggling for days.

Answer:

y=-1/4x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept is -6 and slope is -1/4

point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)

you can use and point. i am using (0,-6)

y--6=-1/4(x-0)

y+6=-1/4x

-6 -6

y=-1/4x-6

How does finding the square root of a number compare to finding the cube root of a number? Use the number 64 in your explanation
lakkis [162]
In order to find the square root, we must find a number that when multiplied by itself one time, it produces the number under consideration.
In the case of 64, the square root is 8 because 8 multiplied once by itself is 64.

However, when finding the cube root, the root must multiply by itself two times and make the number. 
In the case of 64, 4 multiplied by itself two times is 64.

TRUE OR FALSE: A fraction of something is always equal to a fraction of another something
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{y} and \frac{y}{x} are not equal.

If we assign numbers to both variables, for example x=1 and y = 2, we get:

\frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{2}{1} . This shows that .5 is not equal to 2, therefore a fraction of something (x) is not always equal to a fraction of another something.

An equation is shown below: 5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15 Write the steps you will use to solve the equation and explain each step. (5 po
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we will have to open the bracket first

So let's solve the question

5(2x-8)+15=-15

Bracket first

10x-40+15=-15

We will have to solve the question further

10x-25=-15

Add 25 to both sides

10x=10

Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 10

x=1

Therefore x is 1
