We have the points (1, -6) , (2, -12)

Find the slope (m)

m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)

Plug in the values.

m = (-12 + 6) / (2 - 1)

Simplify.

m = -6/1

So, our slope is : m = -6

We are looking for our equation in point-slope form.

Point-slope form : y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Simply plug in everything.

Our given points : (1, -6) and (2, -12)

y - (-6) = -6(x - 1)

Simplify.

y + 6 = -6x + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides.

y = -6x + 6 - 6

Simplify.

So, y = -6x

Your answer is C) y = -6x

Harrizon [31]

Total number of hours she schduled to play the game = 3 $\frac{3}{4}$ hours.

Let us convert mixed fraction into improper fraction

$3\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3*3+4}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \ hours.$

Duration of each round = $\frac{7}{12}$ .

In order to find the number of rounds Nicole can play, we need to divide total number of hours by duration of each round.

$\frac{13}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{7}{12}$

Converting division sign into multiplication flips the second fraction.

$=\frac{13}{4} \times \frac{12}{7}$

Crossing out 12 by 4, we get 3 on the top of second fraction.

$=\frac{13}{1} \times \frac{3}{7}$

$=\frac{39}{7} = 5.57...( Approximately).$

Because problem is about number of rounds.

So, total number of round would be 5.

A ship travels due west for 90 miles and turns to travel 80 miles in the northwest direction at a 120 degree angle. How far is t

adoni [48]

We breakdown the components of the distances.
(1) 90 miles west.
x - component = -90 miles
y - component = 0 miles
(2) 80 miles, northwest (120°)
x - component = (80 miles)*(sin 30°) = 40 miles (negative)
y - component =(80 miles)*(cos 30°) = 69.282 miles (positive)

Solve for the distance,
√(-90 - - 40)² + (69.282 miles)² = <em>147.31 miles</em>
