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

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

you would take your 2x and subtract it from the 4x to get 2x = -8. after that you just divde both sides by 2 to get x=-4

Sam bought brushes for $8, a palette for $5, and oil paints for $15. He paid $29.82 in all. What sales-tax rate did Sam pay?
Tpy6a [65]
First step is to add all the expenses of Sam bought. The sum is equal to 8 + 5 + 15 equal to $28. With the addition of the tax, the tax amounts to a total of $1.82. This means the tax, imposed is $1.82/$28 *100% equal to 6.5 percent

She found that the area of the garden will be 127 1/2 square feet by using the equation Area=bh. I'd the height, h, of the paral
baherus [9]

To solve this problem yo must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must use the formula applied to calculate the area of the garden.

A=bh

2. You know the value of the area (127^{\frac{1}{2}}ft^{2}=127.5ft^{2} and the value of the heigth (8^{\frac{1}{2}}ft=8.5ft , therefore, you only need to solve for the base:

b=\frac{A}{h}\\b=\frac{127.5ft}{8.5ft}\\b=15ft

The answer is: 15 feet.
