Find the equation of the straight line that passes through points (-1; -2) and (3; 4)

Y=mx+b is our base equation

m=slope, so let's find that first:
m= change in y/change in x
So between the points (-1,-2) and (3,4),
The y values, -2 and 4, have a difference of 6. The x values, -1 and 3, have a difference of 4. This makes our slope 6/4 (or 3/2 simplified)

Now our equation is
Y=3/2x + b

We still need to find b
To find b, we can substitute a point given to us. Let's use (3,4) just to avoid negatives.

4=3/2(3) + b
Multiply
4=9/2 + b
Subtract 9/2 from both sides
-1/2=b

Now let's put it all back together!

Y=3/2x-1/2 Is the answer.

I hope this Helps!

2 cubed minus 2 squared
garri49 [273]

Hello!

your answer is: 4

2 cubed is also written as: 2³

2 squared is also written as: 2²

so the re-written equation is: 2³ - 2²

To solve, simplify by doing the exponents.

2³ = 8

2² = 4

8 - 4 = 4

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Is a ray an undefined term
Tatiana [17]
From these three undefined terms, all other terms in Geometry can be defined. In Geometry, we define a point as a location and no size. A line is defined as something that extends infinitely in either direction but has no width and is one dimensional while a plane extends infinitely in two dimensions.
Hope this helps you !!
