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

Answer:

k = 575

Step-by-step explanation:

let d be distance and h time.

Given d varies directly as h then the equation relating them is

d = kh ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition d = 2875, h = 5, then

2875 = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = 575

Find using appropriate Properties:<br> 6/7 x -2/3 + 3/5 + 5/8 x -6/7
Valentin [98]

The simplified form of the expression is given as 83x/56 -(97/105)

<h3>Finding the value of unknown variables</h3>

Alphabets are usually represented as unknown variables in a equation or expression.

Given the following expression shown below

6/7 x -2/3 + 3/5 + 5/8 x -6/7

Collect the like terms to have;

6/7 x+ 5/8 x  -2/3 + 3/5 -6/7

Simplify

48x+35x/56 - (70-63 + 90)/105

The final expression will be given as;

83x/56 -(97/105)

Hence the simplified form of the expression is given as 83x/56 -(97/105)
