What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1,-7) and (-9,-2)?

Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

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

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

Find the solutions of the system y = –2x – 1 and y = 3–x–1.
sweet [91]

There are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

It is defined as the function that rapidly increases and the value of the exponential function is always a positive. It denotes with exponent y = a^x

where a is a constant and a>1

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have two equations:

y = –2x – 1 and

\rm y = 3^{-x-1}

From the graph, we can see:

There are two intersection points:

(-1, 1) and (-2, 3)

The x coordinates are -1 and -2

x = -1, y = 1

x = -2, y = 3

Thus, there are two intersection points (-1, 1) and (-2, 3), and the x coordinates are -1 and -2.
