First let's find the slope
Slope formula: 
\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =slope
Given the two coordinates: 
(-4,-7) (3,2) 
 x1,y1  x2,y2

Plug these numbers into the formula
\frac{2-(-7)}{3-(-4)} = \frac{9}{7}
In this case the mistake that was made was that the student wrote the slope negative instead of positive
Final answer: 
<span>y-2=9/7(x-3)</span>

A 47-foot-long piece of pipe is to be cut into three pieces. The second piece is three times as long as the first piece, and the
DanielleElmas [232]
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece

a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2

a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft

b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft

longest piece (c) = 27 ft
