Slope is simply rise/run.
or
(vertical shift)/(horizontal shift)
therefore, the x value went from -6 to 2 which means it vertically shifted by 8.
and the y value went from 1 to 5, which means it horizontally shifted by 4.
the slope is 8/4.
or 2.
Answer:
12, 13, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Denote the integers as:
x
x+1
x+2
The sum of their squares, so that would be;
(x^(2)) + (( x + 1 )^(2)) + (( x + 2 )^(2)) = 509
write out the squares
x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 509
combine like terms
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
inverse operations
3x^2 + 6x + 5 = 509
-5 -5
3x^2 + 6x = 504
factor
3x^2 + 6x = 504
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) =504
Inverse operations
3 ( x^2 + 2x ) = 504
/3 /3
x^2 + 2x = 168
Factor again
x ( x + 2 ) = 168
At this point, it should be obvious that x is 12 (because 12 * 14 = 168)
So now substitute back into the consecutive numbers
x = 12
x + 1 = 13
x + 2 = 14
1: -5 = 3m + c
2: -2 = 0 + c
From equation 2, we knew c = -2
So we sub into equation 1 and got the value of m
-5 = 3m - 2
m = -1
The equation of line is y = -x - 2
