Answer:

Slope: Be inclined from a horizontal or vertical line; slant up or down. Slope formula is m=rise/run

Y-Intercept: The vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system.

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x+7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

Slope formula: $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Given points: (-6, 4), (6, 10)

(-6, 4) = (x1, y1)

(6, 10) = (x2, y2)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.

First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

$\frac{10-4}{6-(-6)}$

Simplify:

10 - 4 = 6

6 - (-6) = 6 + 6 = 12

$\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}$

The slope is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (6, 10)) into the equation and solve for b:

$10 = \frac{1}{2}(6)+b$

10 = 3 + b

7 = b

The y-intercept is 7.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x+7$

Which diagram shows lines that must be parallel lines cut by a transversal? 2 horizontal lines are intersected by a third line.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(A) At the intersection of the first line with the third line, the bottom left angle is 115 degrees. At the intersection of the second line with the third line, the uppercase left angle is 65 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate interior angles are supplementary when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. The first description seems to be describing alternate interior angles. (See attachment)

_____

<em>Comment on orientation</em>

If the transversal is oriented horizontally, then the descriptions of the angles will be of different angles than assumed here.
