For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following points through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 3,2)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}) :( 5, -5)

So the slope is:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {-5-2} {5 - (- 3)} = \frac {-7} {5 + 3} = - \frac {7} {8}

Thus, the equation of the line is of the form:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

2 = - \frac {7} {8} (- 3) + b\\2 = \frac {21} {8} + b\\b = 2- \frac {21} {8}\\b = \frac {16-21} {8}\\b = - \frac {5} {8}

Finally, the equation is:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}

Answer:

y = - \frac {7} {8} x- \frac {5} {8}

One number is 6 more than another. Twice the larger number is 5 times the smaller.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The smaller number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number = x

Smaller number = y

Write 2 equations

y + 6 = x

2x = 5y

Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation

2(y + 6) = 5y

Multiply 2(y + 6)

2y + 12 = 5y

Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation

12 = 3y

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

y = 4

x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The smaller number is 4

Hope this helps :)

Look at the figure. If m∠JKM = 48, find m∠J.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle K is 48, the measure of angle m is 90. From there you have 138 degrees. A triangle is 180 degrees. You subtract 138 from 180.
