What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,-2) and (6,-8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ber [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>y = (-2/3)x - 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move to the right from (-3,-2) to (6,-8), x increases by 9 and y decreases by 6.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is

m = rise / run = -6 / 9 = -2/3.

Starting with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line,

y = mx + b, and substituting -2/3 for m, -8 for y and 6 for x, we get the following equation, which enables us to solve for the y-intercept, b:

-8 = (-2/3)(6) + b, or

-8 = -4 + b

Then b = -4, and the desired equation is

y = (-2/3)x - 4.

Hey there!!

How do we find the equation of a line ?

Ans : We take the slope and the y - intercept and get them together.

How do you find slopes?

Ans - In order to find slop, we will need to use the slop formula which is

( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

The two points shown in the above question are

( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 )

y₂ = 5 , y₁ = -8 and x₂ = 8 , x₁ = 4

Now plug in the values:

( 5 + 8 ) / ( 8 - 5 )

13 / 3

Hence, the slope is 13/3

The basic formula : y = mx + b

Where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

We have found the slope, hence, the formula would become

... y = 13/3 x + b

Now take a coordinate and substitute it .

I will take ( 8 , 5 )

x = 8 and y = 5

Now plug in the values

... 5 = 13/3 × 5 + b

... 5 = 65/3 + b

Subtract 65/3 on both sides

... 5 - 65/3 = b

... -50/3 = b

Hence, the y-intercept is -50/3

Now plug in all the values to get the total equation...

The final equation : y = 13x/3 - 50/3

... y = 13x - 50 / 3

Hope my answer helps!!

At 5 p.M., the temperatures recorded at two weather stations in Antarctica are -6 degrees and 2 degrees. The temperature changes
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

- 8° per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Station A = - 6°

Station B = 2°

Rate of temperature change = x° / hour ; which is the same at both stations

Temperature at station A 3 hours after the recording is the same as the temperature in station B 4 hours after the recording ;

Temperature change in Station A:

-6 + 3x

Temperature change in station B:

2 + 4x

Temperature change in A = temperature change in B

-6 + 3x = 2 + 4x

Collect like terms

3x - 4x = 2 + 6

- x = 8

x = - 8

Hence, the rate of temperature change x in both stations is - 8° per hour

Simplify: |x+3| , if x&gt;2
Burka [1]

Answer:

I believe it would be 0 and up

Step-by-step explanation:

|x + 3|

|3 + 3|

3 - 3 = 0

and X can be any number higher than two so it would go up by one each time. 0,1,2,3 etc..

Can someone help me?

Answer:

  • registration fee: $50
  • monthly fee: $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r and m represent the registration fee and the monthly fee, respectively. We are told that the charges are ...

  370 = r + 4m

  530 = r + 6m

This is your system of equations.

__

Subtract the first equation from the second to start the solution.

  (530) -(370) = (r +6m) -(r +4m)

  160 = 2m . . . . . . simplify

  80 = m . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Using this value in the first equation, we find ...

  370 = r + 4(80)

  50 = r . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 320

The registration fee is $50; the monthly fee is $80.
