Answer:

y = - 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 15)

m = \frac{15+9}{-4-8} = \frac{24}{-12} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, - 9), then

- 9 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 16 = 7

y = - 2x + 7 ← equation of line

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!! Which could have been the first step in creating this construction?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Place the compass point on vertex Y and draw an arc that intersects YX and YZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the construction of dividing an angle inteo two equal parts.

we have to find the first step of construction.

As seen in figure the angle ∠XYZ is dividing into two equal parts.

The first step of construction is to place the needle of compass at Y and draw an arc that intersects YX and YZ.

Hence, the correct option is option C.

Place the compass point on vertex Y and draw an arc that intersects YX and YZ
