Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 2)

m = \frac{2+2}{6-3} = \frac{4}{3}

Use either of the 2 points as the point on the line

Using (a, b) = (6, 2), then

y - 2 = \frac{4}{3}(x - 6) ← in point- slope form

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Multiply both sides of the point- slope equation by 3

3y - 6 = 4(x - 6) ← distribute

3y - 6 = 4x - 24 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

- 6 = 4x - 3y - 24 ( add 24 to both sides )

18 = 4x - 3y, that is

4x - 3y = 18 ← in standard form

Answer:

(y - -2) (6 - 3) - (2 - -2) (x - 3) = 0

6y + 2 - 3y - 6 -2x +6 +2x +6 = 0

3y +8 =0

3y = -8

y = -8/3

You're just changing the given rate into a unit rate: follow along and do the division shown and fill in the blanks. 320 ÷16 = 20

So the unit rate is \frac{20mi}{1gal}

The width of a kitchen is 4.2 metres.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

11,67

Step-by-step explanation:

In the order to get the answer, we need to get the right measurements. That is turn the cm into m or 60 cm to 0,6 m because 1 cm is 0.01m. How many cupboards in a kitchen that is 4,2 m long? To get the answer just divide 4,2 m with 0,6 m, and that is 11,67 cupboards in a 4,2 m long kitchen.

Find the indicated sum of each sequence S8 of -2,-13,-24,-35
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The sum of the arithmetic sequence is S_{8}=-324.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a set of numbers that are in order.

In an arithmetic sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant.  In other words, we just add the same value each time infinitely.

If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is a_1 and the common difference is d, then the nth term of the sequence is given by:

                                                  a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

For the sequence

                                                -2,-13,-24,-35,...

The pattern is continued by adding -11 to the last number each time.

An arithmetic series is the sum of an arithmetic sequence.  We find the sum by adding the first, a_1 and last term, a_n, divide by 2 in order to get the mean of the two values and then multiply by the number of values, <em>n</em>

<em>                                                     </em>S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(a_{1}+a_{n})<em />

The sum of the arithmetic sequence is

a_{8}=-2+(8-1)(-11)=-2-77=-79

S_{8}=\frac{8}{2}(-2-79})=4\left(-2-79\right)=4\left(-81\right)=-324
