Answer:

y = -2/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In an equation that represents a line, the number with which no variable is multiplied is the y-intercept.

The number with which "x" is multiplied is the slope.

So in this case, the slope is -2/3; so the equation should be like -2/3x.

The y-intercept is 4, so it is the number with which no variable is multiplied.

So the equation is:

=> y = -2/3x + 4

The absolute value of BOTH of those numbers is ' 1 '.

==========================================

Oh ! Wait just a second. Did you mean for the 1 and the -1 to be combined
in some way ? If that's what you had in mind, then you'll have to be more
specific. "And" is no mathematical operation that I know of.

Answer:

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach point D from point C, you need to add 4 to the x-value of point C and take away 6 from the y-value. These numbers are the sides of the hypothetical triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ . If we plug the side lengths in for a and b, we get $4^2 + 6^2 = c^2$ . This can be simplified to $16+36=c^2$ , or $52 = c^2$ . If we root both sides, we find that c is equal to $\sqrt{52}$ , which is slightly more than 7, at around 7.2.
