Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{9}x-\frac{5}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

(-14,1)(13,-2)

Use the slope-intercept formula:

y=mx+b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Use the slope formula first:

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{rise}{run}

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Plug in the coordinates:

(-14(x_{1}),1(y_{1}))\\(13(x_{2}),-2(y_{2}))

\frac{-2-1}{13-(-14)}

Simplify parentheses (two negatives makes a positive):

\frac{-2-1}{13+14}

Simplify:

\frac{-3}{27} =-\frac{3}{27}=-\frac{1}{9}

The slope is -\frac{1}{9}. Insert into the equation:

y=-\frac{1}{9}x +b

Now, to find the y-intercept, take one of the points and substitute for the x and y values of the equation:

(13,-2)\\-2=-\frac{1}{9} (13)+b

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify parentheses:

-\frac{1}{9}*\frac{13}{1}=-\frac{13}{9}

-2=-\frac{13}{9} +b

Add -\frac{13}{9}  to both sides:

-2+\frac{13}{9}=-\frac{13}{9} +\frac{13}{9}  +b\\\\-2+\frac{13}{9} =b

Simplify:

-\frac{2}{1} +\frac{13}{9}\\\\-\frac{18}{9}+\frac{13}{9}\\  \\b=-\frac{5}{9}

The y-intercept is -\frac{5}{9} . Insert this into the equation:

y=-\frac{1}{9} x-\frac{5}{9}

Finito.

Logan measured a line to be 7.4 inches long. If the actual length of the line is 7.7 inches, then what was the percent error of
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.0541

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't know if this is correct but this is what I got.

You would take the error and divide it by the theoretical value and then multiply that by 100.

7.7 - 7.4 = 0.3

0.3 ÷ 7.4 = 0.04054054

0.04054054 x 100 = 4.05405405 (simplify) = 4.0541%

Hope I helped in any way
