What is the slope of the line through (-1,8) and (3,-4)?

Mathematics

Hey there!!

How do we find slopes ?

Slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

We are given with two co-ordinates :

(-1,8) and (3,-4)  

Hence, the slope is :

\frac{-4-8}{3+1}

... \frac{-12}{4} = -3

The slope is -3.

Hope my answer helps!

Are the lines described by the equations y=x+2 and x+y=6 intersecting, coinciding, or parallel? Explain
Novosadov [1.4K]
<span>y = slope*x + y-intercept;
</span>We can rewrite our equation in a shorter form : y = mx + b;
y = x + 2 ; m1 = 2 and b1 = 2;
y = -x + 6; m2 = -1 and b2 = 6;
<span>Set the two equations for y equal to each other:
</span>x + 2 = -x + 6 ;
<span>Solve for x. This will be the x-coordinate for the point of intersection:
</span>2x = 4;
x = 2;
<span>Use this x-coordinate and plug it into either of the original equations for the lines and solve for y. This will be the y-coordinate of the point of intersection:
</span>y = 2 + 2 ;
y = 4;
<span>The point of intersection for these two lines is (2 , 4).</span>

X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8
