The linear equation is y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To form a linear equation from two points lie on the line which the equation represented it

  • Find the slope of the line by using the formula m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}
  • Then use the slope-intercept form of the equation y = m x + b
  • To find the value of b substitute x and y of the equation by the coordinates of one of the two given points

∵  Points (-2 , -4) and (-3 , -3) lie on the line

∴ x_{1} = -2 and x_{2} = -3

∴ y_{1} = -4 and y_{2} = -3

- Substitute these values in the formula of the slope

∵ m=\frac{-3-(-4)}{-3-(-2)}=\frac{-3+4}{-3+2}=\frac{1}{-1}

∴ m = -1

∵ The form of the equation is y = m x + b

∵ m = -1

∴ y = (-1) x + b

∴ y = -x + b

To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of

point (-2 , -4) OR (-3 , -3)

∵ x = -3 and y = -3

∴ -3 = -(-3) + b

∴ -3 = 3 + b

- Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -6 = b

∴ The equation is y = -x + (-6)

∴ y = -x - 6

The linear equation is y = -x - 6

Simon can see two lights, light A and light B.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

2 Times

Step-by-step explanation:

Simon can see two lights A and B

  • Light A flashes every 15 seconds.
  • Light B flashes every 18 seconds.

First, we determine the next time both lights will flash together.

This is done by finding the Least Common Multiple of 15 and 18.

15=3X5

18=2X3^2

LCM of 15 and 18=2X3^2X5=90

This means that lights A and B will first flash together after 90 seconds.

Now, 240/90=2.\overline{6} seconds

Therefore, the number of times more both light will flash together in the next 4 Minutes= 2 Times

Which could be the graph of f(x)=|x-h|+k if h and k are both positive
julia-pushkina [17]

The graph of the function y=f(x-a)+b (a>0, b>0) is obtained from the graph of the function y=f(x) by translating right a units and up b units.

The graph of the function y=|x| is as shown in the attached diagram. The only possible translation of this graph right and up is option A. (In option B graph is translated right and down, in option C- left and up and in option D - left and down).

Answer: correct choice is A.
