Answer:

y=-x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(5-7)/(0-(-2))

m=-2/(0+2)

m=-2/2

m=-1

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-7=-1(x-(-2))

y-7=-(x+2)

y=-x-2+7

y=-x+5

Find the slope of the line through each pair of point

Rashid [163]

The slope of the line passes through (-6, 3) and (1, 5) is $\frac{2}{7}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, two points are (- 6, 3) and (1, 5)

We have to find the slope of a line that passes through the above given two points

Slope of a line that pass through $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { and }\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ is given as:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$\text { Here, in our problem, } x_{1}=-6, y_{1}=3 \text { and } x_{2}=1, y_{2}=5$

$\text { Slope } m=\frac{5-3}{1-(-6)}=\frac{2}{1+6}=\frac{2}{7}$

Hence, the slope the line that passes through the given points is $\frac{2}{7}$

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

This is how you convert

Step-by-step explanation:

Feet per minute is speed unit, symbol: [fpm]. Definition of 1 feet per minute ≡ 1 ft / 60 s = 30.48 cm / 60 s. The speed with which the body moves 1 foot (or 30.48 centimetres) in 1 minute.. Compared to metre per second, feet per minute is smaller unit.
