Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-\dfrac{10}{3}\to x+3y=-10}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (5, -5) and (-4, -2).

Substiute:

m=\dfrac{-2-(-5)}{-4-5}=\dfrac{-2+5}{-9}=\dfrac{3}{-9}=-\dfrac{1}{3}

Put the value of the slope and the coordinates of the point (5, -5) to the equation of a line:

-5=-\dfrac{1}{3}(5)+b

-5=-\dfrac{5}{3}+b               <em>add 5/3 to both sides</em>

-\dfrac{15}{3}+\dfrac{5}{3}=b\\\\-\dfrac{10}{3}=b\to b=-\dfrac{10}{3}

Finally we have the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-\dfrac{10}{3}

Convert to the standard form <em>(Ax + By = C)</em>:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-\dfrac{10}{3}          <em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

3y=-x-10              <em>add x to both sides</em>

x+3y=-10

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

hey,its option a

Step-by-step explanation:

because angle F= angle M and angle G= angle L

and angle H= angle N

To know third angle in ∆HGF

,we know sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°

______________________________

let angle H be unknown value x

x+51+36=180

x=180-87 ---------------- 1

similarly in ∆MNL

let angle be y

51+36+y=180

y=180-87----------------2

_______________________________

From 1&2 we observe qngle x= angle y

nika2105 [10]
Hi, to find the area of the rectangle all you have to do is multiply the length times the width.

A = 80inches • 45inches = 3600

serious [3.7K]
$3,500 budget minus $50 clean up fee equals $3,450.
3500 - 50 = 3450

$3,450 divided by $31 per person equals 111.29
3450 / 31 = 111.29

111 people multiplied by $31 equals $3,441 plus $50 clean up fee equals $3,491
111 x 31 = 3441
3441 + 50 = 3491

They can invite 111 people and will have $9 to spare

What does complumentary mean in geometry?
Bumek [7]
If you have a right triangle and one angle in the triangle is 45 degrees, the other would have to be complementary (an angle that adds up to another to form a right angle) so the other angle would have to be 45 degrees to make that a right angle 90 degrees. So complementary angles are two angles that add up to equal 90 degrees.
