What is <br> the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,6) and (-1,-9)

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The answer to the question provided is y = -3x - 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

❃Incase you forgot what the linear equation formula is ☟

$y = mx + b$

❃Incase you also forgot, what the slope formula is ☟

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1 }{x_2 - x_1}$

➊ First: We are going to be solving for the slope.

$m = \frac{ - 9 - 6}{ - 1 - ( - 6)} = \frac{ - 15}{ \: \: \: 5} = - 3$

➋Second: We find the y-intercept.

$y = mx + b \\ 6 = - 3( - 6) + b \\ 6 = 18 + b \\ \frac{ - 18 = - 18 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{ - 12 = b}$

➌Third: Plug in.

$y = - 3x - 12$

a kittens heartbeat can be as fast as 240 beats per minute . to find the number of times a kittens heart beats in 30 seconds , A

Alina [70]

I do not agree. If you divide 240 by 30, it would be 8 heartbeats, which is absurd. It's impossible for something to survive with 8 heartbeats per 30 seconds.
In order to get the CORRECT answer, divide 240 by 60 seconds.
This would give you 4 heartbeats per second.
Then, multiply it by 30 seconds, which would give you 120 heartbeats.

CORRECT answer: 120
