First find the slope of the line connecting these two points:

6-5

m = ------------ = -1/2

-4+2

Substitute this slope into y = mx + b: y = (-1/2)x + b.

Next, subst. 5 for y and -2 for x, and find b:

5 = (-1/2)(-2) + b, or 5-1=b. Then b = 4, and

the equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 4.

First you find the slope of the equation using the formula
M= y2-y1/x2-x1
M= 5-6/-2-(-4)
M= -1/2
Using slope intercept form which is y=mx+b, you write y=-1/2x+b
Now in order to find b you simple substitute one of the given points
I choose (-4,6)
6=-1/2(-4)+b
6=2+b
b=4
So final answer would be y=-1/2x+4

siniylev [52]
Formula for area:
Area = Wide x Length

Wide: x + 5
Long: 3x - 2

Area = (x + 5) x (3x - 2)
Area = 3x² - 2x + 15x - 10
Area = (3x² + 13x - 10) square feet

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line with points; (2, 5) (3, 8).

1. Find the slope of the given line

The formula for finding the slope is:

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1}}

Substitute in the values;

x_{1} = 2\\y_{1} = 5\\x_{2} = 3\\y_{2} = 8

\frac{8-5}{3-2}

simplify;

\frac{3}{1}

= 3

2. Find the slope of the parallel line;

Remember, when two lines are parallel, they run alongside each other, of infinitely long, but they never touch. Hence two parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of a line that is parallel to the given one will also have the same slope as the given one, which is 3.
