For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

We have the following points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 9,5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3,3)

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {3-5} {- 3 - (- 9)}\\m = \frac {-2} {- 3 + 9}\\m = \frac {-2} {6}\\m = - \frac {1} {3}

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

3 = - \frac {1} {3} (- 3) + b\\3 = 1 + b\\3-1 = b\\b = 2

Finally, the equation is of the form:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + 2

Answer:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + 2

What is the value of x?<br><br> x = 45°<br> x = 65°<br> x = 70°<br> x = 115°
dem82 [27]

The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees.

To find X subtract the two known angles from 180.

X = 180 - 45 - 70

X = 65 degrees.

Alvin is 9 years older than Elga. The sum of their ages is 89. What is Elga's age?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Alvin: 49

Elga: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The equation is 89 = x + (x-9).
  2. Remove the parenthesis and combine the like terms. 89 = 2x - 9
  3. Add 9 on both sides. 98 = 2x
  4. Divide by 2 on both sides. x = 49
  5. 49 is the age of Alvin. (49-9) 40 is the age of Elga.
