You know that 6 is divisible by 3/ 3 is a factor of 6 (3•2=6) so you could further simply 3/6 using a common factor, more specifically their Greatest Common Factor also known as the GCF

Write the equation of the line given points (-4,6) and (-8,10)
Advocard [28]

Answer:

the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is: y=-x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by finding the slope of the segment that joins those two points using the general formula for the slope of the segments between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) on the plane:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Then for our case, calling (-4, 6) = (x_1,y_1) and (-8, 10) = (x_2,y_2), we have:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{10-6}{-8-(-4)}\\Slope=\frac{4}{-8+4}\\Slope=\frac{4}{-4}\\Slope= -1

Now, knowing this, we can find the equation of the line by using the "point-slope" form of a line [of slope "m" and going through the point (x_0,y_0) that tells us:

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

We will be then using the found slope (-1) and for example one of the given points: (-4 , 6), thus:

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)\\y-6=-1(x-(-4))\\y-6=-1(x+4)\\y-6=-x-4\\y=-x-4+6\\y=-x+2

I need help with number 17 please, and show work. I keep getting different answers. <br><br> 1
Alecsey [184]
\frac{(x+1)(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)} - \frac{2(x-1)}{(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)} +  \frac{3(x+1)}{(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)}

=\frac{x^2-2-2x+2+3x+3}{(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)}
= \frac{x^2+x+4}{(x+1)(x-1)(x+1)} is what I got.

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
nignag [31]

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's the slope

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

On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1

The given line is:

5x-2y = -6\\-2y = -6-5x\\2y = 5x + 6\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + \frac {6} {2}\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + 3

So we have:

m_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}

We find m_ {2}:m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {\frac {5} {2}}\\m = - \frac {2} {5}

So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x + b

We substitute the given point to find "b":

-4 = - \frac {2} {5} (5) + b\\-4 = -2 + b\\-4 + 2 = b\\b = -2

Finally we have:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2

In point-slope form we have:

y - (- 4) = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)

ANswer:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)
