Answer:

y = - 2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 2) into the partial equation

2 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 12 = - 10

y = - 2x - 10 ← equation of line

Describe the slope of the line<br><br> Find the slope.<br><br> m =

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

m = -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line is going downwards towards the right, it is a negative slope.

We can use the points to solve for the slope.

m = -2 - 1 / 2 - (-3)

m = -2 - 1 / 2 + 3

m = -3/5

Therefore, the slope is -3/5.

-V35 is it an irrational number

AnnZ [28]

Yes, it is an irrational number because it can’t be written as a fraction

Negative square root of 35 is about -5.92, it can’t be written as a fraction

Rational number: can be written as a fraction
Irrational number: can’t be written as a fraction

I hope this helps!
