6 - b/3a a = 10, b = 9

6 - 9/(3*10)

6 - 9/30

6 - 3/10

6 - 0.3

= 5.7 or 57/10

Find the slope between the two points given. Then, use the slope and one of the points to write the equation of the line in Slop

Anika [276]

Answer:

Equation: y=2x-1

Slope: 2

y-intercept: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (-1, -3) and (-2, -5). We need to find the slope, equation of the line, and the y intercept of the line

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from two points is $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where ( $x_1$ , $y_1$ ) and ( $x_2$ , $y_2$ ) are points

We have everything we need for the formula, but let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

x1=-1

y1=-3

x2=-2

y2=-5

Now substitute into the formula (remember: the formula has SUBTRACTION):

m= $\frac{-5--3}{-2--1}$

simplify

m= $\frac{-5+3}{-2+1}$

add

m= $\frac{-2}{-1}$

divide

m=2

So the slope is 2

Now let's find the equation of the line

The question asks for it to be in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We calculated the slope from earlier, so let's substitute that into the equation

y=2x+b

Now we need to find b

The equation will pass through both (-1, -3) and (-2, -5) so we can use either one of them to solve for b (doesn't matter which one)

Let's take (-1, -3) as an example

substitute -1 as x and -3 as y into the equation

-3=2(-1)+b

multiply

-3=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides

-1=b (the value of the y intercept!)

Substitute -1 as b into the equation

y=2x-1

We found everything needed for this problem

Hope this helps!

Select from the drop - down menus to correctly complete each statement

Stels [109]

In a flowchart proof, statements and conclusions are connected with arrows.

In terms of mathematics, a statement is simply any sentence in which it can be verifiably true or false. A statement cannot be a subjective opinion. It must be an objective fact and there must not be any ambiguity involved. A conclusion is also a statement that derives from the first statement made.

As an example, you can have the simple argument "if it rains, then it gets wet outside". So the box on the left would be "it rains" and the box on the right would be "it gets wet outside". An arrow connecting the two shows the logical flow of how the argument is set up.

See the diagram below.

Side note: the box on the left is also considered the antecedent because it comes before the conclusion.
