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

If a cow has a mass of 9 × 10^2
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) The blue whale has about 200 times more mass

Step-by-step explanation:

(blue whale mass)/(cow mass) = (1.8×10^5 kg)/(9×10^2 kg)

... = (1.8/9)×10^(5-2)

... = 0.2×10^3

... = 200

The blue whale has about 200 times as much mass as a cow.

Which of the following sets of numbers could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
kicyunya [14]

Answer is C. 8, 3, 6

To answer this, you must know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The two shortest sides when added together, must be greater than the longest side.

A. 2 + 4= 6 which can't work since it equals the longest side of 6

B. 4 +2=6 The sum would be less than 8, which doesn't work

C. 6 +3 = 9 the sum is greater than 8, which makes it a triangle

D. 3 +8 = 11 11 is less than 12

What is the rate of change of the linear relationship modeled in the table?
Lisa [10]
The correct answer is 3/2.

Slope = Rate Of Change 

Slope Formula:        y₂ - y₁          5 - 2         3
                               -------------- = ---------- = -----
                                   x₂ - x₁          3 - 1         2

I hope that this helps you!

Btw, ₁ and ₂ are subscripts, they do not have anything to do with the actual working of the problem.
