For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

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

We have the following points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 6,7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3,6)

We find the slope of the line:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {6-7} {- 3 - (- 6)} = \frac {-1} {-3 + 6} = \frac {-1} {3} = -\frac {1} {3}

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find b:

6 = - \frac {1} {3} (- 3) + b\\6 = 1 + b\\b = 5

Finally, the equation is:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + 5

Answer:

y = - \frac {1} {3} x + 5

7) 52h because that's how you'd find the distance traveled if there was a number instead of a variable.(d=st)

8)525+3w because you have to add his original total to the amount of cds he will get and if he gets 3 every week that's 3w and then you add them to get the new total.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Latoya:

cran : lem = 2 1/5 : 1 4/5

= 11/5 : 9/5

= 11 : 9

Lem : total = 9 : 20

Parker:

cran : lem = 2 1/2 : 3 1/2

= 5/2 : 7/2

= 5 : 7

Lem : total = 7 : 12

Sati [7]

Answer:

so x = 20 , y = -21 , which is in quad IV

r^2= 400+441 = 841

r = √841 = 29

then cos Ø = 20/29

sec Ø = 29/20 = 1.45
