Answer:

The equation of the line is 6y = 7x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by calculating the slope of the line;

mathematically, the slope is given by;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

That would be;

m= (5-(-2))/(1-(-5))

m = 7/6

So the equation becomes;

y = 7/6x + b

We below need to get the value of the y-intercept b

We get this by making a substitution for any of the two points

Let’s say we make the substitution for (-5,-2) in which case y = -2 and x = -5

Thus, we have

-2 = 7/6(-5) + b

-2 = -35/6 + b

b = -2 + 35/6

b = (-12+ 35)/6 = 23/6

So we have;

y = 7/6x + 23/6

let’s multiply through by 6

6y = 7x + 23

How do you solve st+3t=6
bonufazy [111]
You will factor out the common factor of t if you are solving for t. you will then divide both sides by (s+3) to make t the subject of the formula. for this question you can only get t in terms of s.
so:
st+3t=6
t(s+3)/(s+3)=6/(s+3)
t=6/(s+3)

if you are required to solve for s then you are going to subtract 3t from both sides. you can factorise 6-3t .you will then divide both sides by t to isolate s.for this question you can only get s in terms of t.so:

st+3t-3t=6-3t
st/t=2(3-t)/t
s=2(3-t)/t

Convert y - 3 = 1/3 (x - 6) to standard form.
MAXImum [283]
Y - 3 = 1/3(x - 6)
y - 3 = 1/3 x -2
y = 1/3 x - 2 + 3
y = 1/3 x - 1

Answer ⇒ y = 1/3 x - 1
