Answer:

The equation of the line would be y + 4 = -1/8(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the point-slope form of the line, start by finding the slope. You can do this using the slope formula below along with the two points.

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

m = (-4 - -5)/(-6 - 2)

m = 1/-8

m = -1/8

Now that we have the slope, we can use that along with one of the points in the base form of point-slope.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = -1/8(x + 6)

Which set of numbers is the most reasonable to describe the temperature in alaska during the winter?
Zielflug [23.3K]
The rational numbers are the positive counting numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, . . .

The whole number are the natural numbers plus 0: 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .

The irrational numbers are the numbers which cannot be expressed in the form a/b where a and b are integers. They are usually in the form of a non recurring and non terminating decimals.

The integers complices of both the negative and the positive whole numbers.

In winter, the temperature of Alaska usually drop to negative numbers.

Therefore, the <span>set of numbers is the most reasonable to describe the temperature in alaska during the winter is the set of integers.</span>

Eduardo spent $34 on a magazine and some candy bars if the magazine cost $6 and each candy bar cost $4 then how many candy bars
tatiyna

Answer: 7 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the cost of the magazine from the total cost

$34-$6=$28

Now the $28 that remains is the cost of all the candy bars, so if we divide by the price, we will get  the amount.

$28/$4=7 candy bars

Can someone pls help me answer this :/​
eimsori [14]

Answer:

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Calculate m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-6}{4-0} = \frac{-6}{4} = - \frac{3}{2}

Since the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 6) ⇒ b = 6

y = - \frac{3}{2} x + 6 ← equation of line

Find the midpoint of the line segment between the points (11, -5) and (-3, -7)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

(4, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x1+x2)/2 + (y1+y2)/2 = midpoint

(11+-3)/2 = 8/2 = 4.     x = 4

(-5 + -7)/2 = -12/2.      y = -6

4, -6 is the midpoint
