Answer:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

where

m is the slope

and (x1,y1) is one of the points given.

You have been given 2 points (-12,8) and (9,1). You can call one of them (x1,y1) and the other (x2,y2). It doesn't matter which one is which.

But before we go further, we need to determine the slope.

We can do this from the points as well.

y2-y1

m = ---------

x2-x1

Let's say

(x1,y1) = (-12,8)

(x2,y2) = (9,1)

This gives us a slope of

y2-y1 1-8 -7 -1

m = --------- = ---------- = ---- = ---

x2-x1 9-(-12) 21 3

Now that we have everything we need

y-8 = (-1/3)[x-(-12)]

Distribute the -1/3

y-8 = (-1/3)x -4

If we add 8 to both sides we have the equation in the slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

y = (-1/3)x + 4

How many times can 200 go into 487
DedPeter [7]
2.435 times or if it’s to the nearest whole number then it can go into it twice. 200+200= 400. It can’t go in 3 times because that would be 600.

Refraction is what happens when light passes through some medium and changes it's direction because of it. For instance, when light travels through a lens light is bent as it goes from air to glass and back to air again. :)
