What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that contains the points (3, -4) and (5 -6)

Mathematics

Alika [10]3 years ago

Answer:

y = -x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (3, -4) to the point (5, -6), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 2.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/2, or -1.

Starting with the general slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we get y = mx + b => y = -1x + b.

Subbing -4 for y and 3 for x, we get

-4 = -1(3) + b, which yields b = -1

Thus, the desired equation is

y = -x - 1

I have 2 fewer sides than a polygon
grin007 [14]

Answer:

You are most likely a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation: A polygon with 5 sides is the pentagon. A square has 4 angles, so with this, I can already tell that it is a triangle if it has 3 angles, (one less than a square). Then it says that it has 1 right angle. This would make the triangle a right. I hope this helps.

Angle x and y are complementary. Angle x is supplementary to a 128º angle.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

x = 52

y = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle x is supplementary to a 128º angle.

Supplementary angles add to 180

x+128 = 180

Subtract 128 from each side

x+128-128 = 180-128

x =52

Angle x and y are complementary.  

Complementary angles add to 90

x+y =90

52+y =90

Subtract 52 from each side

52-52 +y = 90-52

y = 38
