Answer: $m=-\frac{8}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope of the line that has the coordinates given in the problem you must use the formula shown below:

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

Given the points (-3, 6) (4,-2), when you substitute them into the eequation shown above, you obtain that the slope is the following:

$m=\frac{-2-6}{4-(-3)}\\m=-\frac{8}{7}$

<u>Answer:</u>

$- \frac { 8 } { 7 }$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given the following two points on a line and we are to find the slope of this line:

(-3, 6) and (4,-2)

We know the formula of the slope is given by:

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

Substituting the given coordinates in the above formula to get:

Slope = $\frac { - 2 - 6 } { 4 - - 3 } = - \frac { 8 } { 7 }$

Answer:

$y+2 = x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is written in the point-slope form if its equation is in the form

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

where

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ is the slope of the line, calculated using the two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In this problem, we have the following two points:

$(x_1,y_1) = (-2,-2)\\(x_2,y_2)=(2,2)$

Therefore we can calculate the slope of the line:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-(-2)}{2-(-2)}=\frac{4}{4}=1$

And so, the equation of the line in point-slope form is

$y-(-2) = 1(x-(-2))\\\rightarrow y+2 = x+2$

Starla bought cloth napkins at an outlet store for $4.25 each, and she also used a $20 off coupon. In the equation below, x repr

mars1129 [50]

Solution:

Given data in the question-

Price of per piece of napkin at an outlet store - $4.25

Discount coupon used a $20 off coupon.

$y = 4.25x - 20$

In the equation , x represents the number of napkins, and y represents the cost before tax.

She paid $43.75 before tax, which means $y=43.75$

$=> 43.75 = 4.25x-20\\= >43.75+20 =4.25x\\=>x=\frac{63.75}{4.25} = 15$

Starla bought 15 napkins
