Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is ( 5 , - 2) and slope is - 2/5

The equation of the line is

y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} (x - 5) \\ y + 2 =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x + 2 - 2

We have the final answer as

y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x \\

Hope this helps you

Tanzania [10]

Answer: chord

Step-by-step explanation:

A chord is a straight line that's typically drawn from one particular edge of a circle to another.

In this case, the diameter is 14cm while the length of the line drawn is 11cm, therefore the diameter isn't a chord. It's not a radius as well as the diameter divided by 2 gives the radius which should be 7cm.

Therefore, it's a chord.
