Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sounds as though you want the equation of the line through (2, 1) and (5, -8).

As we move from (2, 1) to (5, -8), x (the "run") increases by 3 and y (the "rise") decreases by 9.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Let's use the point-slope formula for a straight line here:  The point (h, k) is (2, 1) and the slope is -3. Then y - k = m(x - h) becomes:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Answer:

y = - 3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)

m = \frac{-8-1}{5-2} = \frac{-9}{3} = - 3 , thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (2, 1) , then

1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 6 = 7

y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line

a ferry traveled 1/6 of the distance between two ports in 3/7 hour. The ferry travels at a constant rate.how much do the ferry t
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In 3/7 hours distance traveled is 1/6

For finding distance in one hour, divide both sides by 7/3 so that 3/7 would be cancelled out:

3/7 * 7/3 hours = 1/6 * 7/3 distance

By simplifying:

1 hour = 7/18 of the distance between two ports

This means that in one hour 7/18 of the distance is covered between two ports.

i hope it will help you!
