How to solve (-1,8) and (8,-8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If you are trying to find a linear equation from those two points, use the equation y2-y1 over x2-x1. y2-y1 just means the second point's y coordinate minus the first point's y coordinate (same goes for x2-x1).

2. So if you were to plug the coordinates into the equation, it would be: -8-8 over 8-(-1).

3. Solve to get -16/9 because -8-8=-16 and 8-(-1)=9, so -16/9. -16/9 is the slope of the line in the y=mx +b equation.

4. It would be written like y=-16/9x +b

5. Now we need to find b which is the y-intercept. To find this pick one of the points (we'll just do (-1,8)), and plug in the x and y coordinates and solve for b.

  • 8=-16/9(-1) +b
  • multiply -16/9 by -1 which is 16/9
  • subtract from both sides for it to be 8-16/9 on the left side which is 6 2/9, and that is b

6. The complete equation is now y=-16/9x + 6 2/9

What is the simplified form of the equation 4/5n - 3/5 = 1/5n?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

n = 1 if you meant "(4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n"

Step-by-step explanation:                                                                              

There's some ambiguity here.  Did you mean (4/5)n or did you

              4

mean --------- ?  Please use parentheses to eliminate this ambiguity.

              5n    

I'm going to assume that you meant to type in (4/5)n - (3/5) = (1/5)n.

Then we have (3/5)n = 3/5, or n = 1

A surveyor asks people whether or not they support their senator's vote on a bill. Choose the type of data that is collected. Gr
Zina [86]

Answer:

Quantitative data

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of data collected when a surveyor asks people whether or not they support their senator's vote on a bill is "quantitative data."

Quantitative data is a type of research data that can be calculated, measured, and formulated using numbers. It is derived using quantitative research, which allows the researcher to gather and analyze data.

Hence, in this case, the surveyors will gather the data based on two groups, those that support the senator's bill and those against it. He will then compare the quantitative numbers gotten from each group.

If a1 = 6 and an<br> -5an-1 + 4 then find the value of a4.
Daniel [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a4 = -666

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the recursive definition repeatedly.

  a1 = 6

  a2 = -5(6) +4 = -26

  a3 = -5(-26) +4 = 134

  a4 = -5(134) +4 = -666
