linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4).

The equation can be written is point slope form.

The standard form of point slope equation is:

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Finding slope m:

Slope can be found by using formula:

slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x{2}-x_{1}} \\Where\,\, y_{2}=-4,y_{1}=-7,x{2}=3,x_{1}=-6\\slope =\frac{-4-(-7)}{3-(-6)}\\slope=\frac{-4+7}{3+6}\\slope=\frac{3}{9}\\slope=\frac{1}{3}

So, slope is \frac{1}{3}

Now finding y-intercept b

Putting slope \frac{1}{3} and point(-6,-7)

y=mx+b\\x=-6,y=-7,m=\frac{1}{3} \\-7=\frac{1}{3}(-6)+b\\-7=-2+b\\b=-7+2\\b=-5

So, value of b is -5

Putting values to find the equation:

y=mx+b\\m=\frac{1}{3} and b=-5\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

So, linear equation that passes through the two points (-6, -7) and (3, -4) is y=\frac{1}{3}x-5

A box has 1 red marble, 3 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. Maya draws a blue marble randomly from the box, replaces it, and th
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

\dfrac{9}{64}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling with replacement means that we choose a marble, note its colour, put it back and shake the box, then choose a marble again.

There are 1+3+4=8 marbles in total. The probability that the first chosen marble is blue is \dfrac{3}{8}. then Maya replaces this marble and the probability of choosing the second blue marble is the same. Using the product rule, the probability of drawing 2 blue marbles in a row is

\dfrac{3}{8}\cdot \dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{9}{64}.

Endpoint: (9,-10), midpoint: (4,8)
Alika [10]

Answer:

( -1 , 26)

Step-by-step explanation:

So since you need to find the other endpoint, you would follow these steps:

1.) 4 = \frac{9 + x}{2\\}

2.) 8 = 9 + x  ( you just multiplied the 2 to the 4 to get 8)

3.) -1 = x  (just solve it like a regular equation, so just subtract 9 on both sides                  to get rid of it and that leaves you with -1 = x)

You took the x values of both points and put them in the equation.

And its the same for y

1.) 8 = \frac{-10 + y}{2}

2.) 16 = -10 + y

3.) 26 = y   (you added the 10 on both sides because the 10 was negative and that took the 10 out and so it left you with 26 = y)

What are the zeros of the polynomial equation f(x)=x^2-12x+20?
bagirrra123 [75]
f(x)=x^2-12x+20\\\\\text{The zeros:}\\\\f(x)=0\to x^2-12x+20=0\\\\x^2-10x-2x+20=0\\\\x(x-10)-2(x-10)=0\\\\(x-10)(x-2)=0\iff x-10=0\ \vee\ x-2=0\\\\\boxed{x=10\ \vee\ x=2}
