bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-5-(-9)}{10-9}\implies \cfrac{-5+9}{1}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\implies 4

\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-(-9)=4(x-9)\implies\underline{y+9=4(x-9)} \\\\\\ y+9=4x-36\implies y=4x-45\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{\underline{-4x+y=-45}}

quick note:

the "x" must not have a negative coefficient for the standard form, though in this case it shows like so in the inappropriate choices above.

Jamar is finding (-2)(-3)(-4). Find his mistake and correct it. Explain your answer.
vichka [17]
The correct answer would be (-24). When multiplying with negative integers, negative times negative is positive, however, the final answer, in this case, is negative because you are then multiplying a positive and a negative:
(-2)(-3)=6
6(-4)=(-24)
I'm guessing Jamar's mistake was he multiplied all of them thinking his answer would be a positive integer: 24.

An employee earns $195 for 15 hours of work. Assuming he is paid by the hour, how much will the employee earn in 8 hours?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

$104

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. First, find the employee’s hourly rate.  You can do this by dividing the total amount earned by the total hours worked. \frac{195}{15}=13
  2. Now that you know that the employee’s hourly rate is $13 per hour, you can multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours. 13*8=104
