Answer:

y= 11/13x + 36/13

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

y2 -y1         -4-7 = -11

x1-x2           -8-5= -13

slope is 11/13

Answer:

y = \frac{11}{13} x + \frac{36}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the line passing through the points

Then find the y-intercept of the line

Then construct the formula

1. find the slope

remember the formula

\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } is used to find the slope

now plug in the given points

(5, 7)

(-8, -4)

x_{1} = 5\\y_{1} = 7\\x_{2} = -8 \\y_{2} = -4

\frac{(-4) - (7)}{(-8) - (5)}

simplify and solve

= \frac{-11}{-13}

= \frac{11}{13}

2. find the y-intercept

remember the base formula for a line

y= mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

we know the slope, so now plug in one of the given coordinates for a point on the line and slove to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

y = \frac{11}{13}x + b

use the first set of given coordinates for a point on this line: (5, 7)

7 = \frac{11}{13}  * 5 + b

solve by inverse operations and simplifying

7 = \frac{55}{13} + b

\frac{36}{13} = b

3. construct the formula

now we know the slope and the y-intercept, all we have to do now is substitute it into the base formula for a line:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and B is the y-intercept

we found that

m = \frac{11}{13}

and

b = \frac{36}{13}

so that means the equation is

y = \frac{11}{13} * x + \frac{36}{13}

M is the midpoint of LN. L has coordinates (-3,-1) and M has coordinates (0,1). Find N coordinates.
miskamm [114]
To get the coordinates, we would use the midpoint formula (google it)

(X1-X2/2 , Y1+Y2/2)

(-3+0/2 , -1+1/2)

N: (-3/2,0)

I NEED HELP WITH ME MATH
ruslelena [56]

ok so lets start of with the fact that the whole thing is 21 units.

So we do 21-9=12 so then we now know that the rectangle is 12 so then we do 12*8 units which is= 96 . Now the triangles. so the first one we know that its 8*3 and times it by 1/2 because two triangles is equal to a rectangle so the first triangle is 12 and now the second. its 9-3= 6 then its 6*8*1/2 which is equal to 24 so now the final answer is

96+12+24 which is equal to 132 so i'm guessing it 132 square units
