What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (8, 4)

First let us find the slope between the two points.

Slope = Change in y / Change in x.

(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =  (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5 

Slope m = -2/5= -0.4

Using  y = mx + c,   using point (3, 6)

y = -0.4x  + c

6 = -0.4*3 + c

6 = -1.2 + c

6 + 1.2 = c

7.2 = c

c = 7.2

Equation = :       y = -0.4x +c

y = -0.4x + 7.2

y = -4/10  + 72/10

10y = -4x + 72

5y = -2x + 36

Equation =:      5y = -2x + 36

Hope this explains it.

Write down the missing number in the following 1,,4,9,16,25,?​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

you know the number based on the sequence

the values increase in the form of x+2

e.g. 4-1=3

      9-4=5

      16-9=7

      25-16=9

you can see the number adds 2 for every increased number

and by following this sequence you will get the number 36

Answer: 300.

Step-by-step explanation: 225/(No denominator) = 75/100.

225 doesn't go in 75. So, 75/100 divided by 5 = 15/20.

I want to find what number you multiply from 15/20 to get 225/(No

denominator). So, I divide 225 by 15. = 15, so multiply 15 x 15 = 225, and

the denominator, 20 x 15= 300.

(Sorry if you don't understand, I don't really know how to explain things.)

But here's your answer!

The gradient of the line segment between the points (2,-3) and (4,-7).
skad [1K]

To find the gradient of a line you use this equation: Rise / Run

I am assuming this is a graph where both the x and y-axis increase in value by one.

So first of all, you should draw out this graph.

Second, draw a point at each of the given coordinates.

Now, join these points by drawing a right angle triangle. Put simply, draw a line from the point (4, -7) down until it is on the same level as the point (2, -3), then draw a line across.

Finally, measure the length of both these sides and use them in the equation above.

Let's assume the rise (vertical line) and the run (horizontal line) are 5 and 8 respectively. We can do 5/8 to get a gradient which is 0.625.
