Find the equation of a line that goes through points (-3, -5) and (-1, -2).

The slope-point formula:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The formula of a slope: m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have:

(-3,-5)\to x_1=-3,\ y_1=-5\\(-1,-2)\to x_2=-1,\ y_2=-2

Substitute and calculate:

m=\dfrac{-2-(-5)}{-1-(-3)}=\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5\\\\y-(-5)=1.5(x-(-3))\\\\y+5=1.5(x+3)\\\\y+5=1.5x+4.5\ \ \ |-5\\\\y=1.5x-0.5

Answer: Choice B

They traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Their speed was 62.5 mph.

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

Explanation:

Start at point X. Draw a horizontal line straight across until you reach the y axis. You should arrive at y = 250. This tells us that they traveled 250 miles.

Go back to point X. Draw a vertical line until you reach the x axis. You should reach x = 4. This indicates 4 hours.

Pairing up the two values together means they traveled 250 miles in 4 hours. Divide the distance over time to get the speed

speed = distance/time = 250/4 = 62.5 miles per hour

--------

Side note: unfortunately your teacher chose the label uppercase X for the point, which may be a bit confusing since it could clash with the lowercase x along the horizontal axis.

Another note: the speed represents the slope of the line

Find the product. (n + 8)(n - 2)
Margaret [11]
If you would like to find the product (n + 8) * (n - 2), you can do this using the following steps:

(n + 8) * (n - 2) = n * n - 2 * n + 8 * n - 8 * 2 = n^2 + 6 * n - 16

The correct result would be n^2 + 6 * n - 16.
