What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (−5,−7) and (5,1)?

Mathematics

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 1)

m = \frac{1+7}{5+5} = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}, thus

y = \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (5, 1), then

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = \frac{4}{5} x - 3 ← equation of line

Below is the solution:

<span>8 weeks to earn;
plane ticket 2200 dollars;
job 20(hours/week), 11.5(dollars/hour) versus job 40(hours/week), 100(dollars)+9(dollars/hour) 

Part of the question is how many weeks to work to get the needed money $2200.
Let w be how many weeks. w needs to be a Natural Number, when finished. 

</span><span>Tech Internship

8 x weeks x 20 x (hours/week) x 11.5 x (dollars/hours)
20 x 11.5 w
230w >/ 2200
23w >/ 220 

</span><span>Amusement Park
8 x weeks x 40 x (hours/week) x 9 x (dollar/hour) + 100 dolarrs 
40 x 9 x w + 100
360w + 100 >/ 2200
36w +10 > 0220
18w + 5 >/ 110</span>

820 round to the nearest hundred
grandymaker [24]
Hello! Seeings 20 is less than 50, you then need to round down. If its over 50 then you round up! So if you have 14 its rounded to 10. And if you have 16 round it to 20. So 820 is rounded to 800.

It would be D because in order to get rid of the fraction and the value of k you need to multiply -4 to the entire equation. Hope this helps love!
