Answer:

y=-8x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1. Take coordinate (0,-2), which is the y-intercept. We'll call that (y2,x2). Coordinate (8,-3) is (y1,x1). Put that into the formula you get, 0-8/-2-(-3). You get -8/1 which is negative 8. We now have the slope. Slope intercept form equation is y=mx+b. M is slope, so we put our slope in the equation and get, y=-8x+b. B is the y-intercept which is given. So we know that the equation to this line in slope-intercept form is y=-8x-2.

Answer:

About 64.65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan(x) = \frac{190}{90}$

$x = { \tan}^{ - 1} \frac{190}{90} = 64.65$

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

A survey of 100 high school students provided this

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

35/100

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find how many juniors there are, so if you add 13, 20, and 2 you get 35. For the denominator you have to find the total number of students, so just add all of the numbers together to get 100. So there is a 35/100 chance that a randomly selected student is a junior.
