The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points A(-6, 6) and B(12, 3). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{3-6}{12-(-6)}=\dfrac{-3}{18}=-\dfrac{3:3}{18:3}=-\dfrac{1}{6}

Therefore we have y=-\dfrac{1}{6}x+b.

Put the coordinates of the point B to the equation:

3=-\dfrac{1}{6}(12)+b

3=-2+b          <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

5=b\to b=5

Answer:

m=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\b=5

How many solutions does the following equation have?<br> -4(+5) = -4- 20
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Try looking at it in 2 ways- left side and right side. On the left side we have -4*5, which equals -20. On the right we have -4-20, which equals -24. so then when we add it all together (not literally) we get -20=-24. Since -20 and -24 obviously do not equal eachother, there is no solution.

Translate each sentence into a formula
Bas_tet [7]
1) Perimeter=2length+2width
This is the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle

2) Density=mass/volume
The “Quotient” is the answer to a division problem (like how the “sum” is the answer to an addition problem) which is why we know to divide mass and volume

3) Force = mass*acceleration
The “product” is the answer to a multiplication problem which is why we know to multiply mass and acceleration

4) surface area = 6*L^2
The formula used to calculate the area of a square is L^2. The problem tells us that surface area is the sum of all the faces of a 3D shape. Because there are 6 sides on a cube, we multiply L^2 by 6.

Hope this helps!
