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.

Cheryl paid $37.20 for 12 gallons of ice cream for a school picnic. How much would 1 quart of ice cream cost?
Stells [14]
First, you need to get to one gallon, which is 37.20 divided by 12. (3.1)
Divide that number by four, which is: 0.775, or 0.78 rounded up to the nearest hundredth.
Hope that helped.

Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle given its altitude is six inches long.
vampirchik [111]
An equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.
The altitude divides it into two 30 60 90 triangles.
The altitude is the "middle side" of such a triangle.
When that is the case, the middle side divided by the square root of 3 = the short side and multiplied by (2/sq root (3)) equals the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the side of the equilateral triangle. 
So, 6 * 2 / (sq root of 3) = <span> <span> <span> 6.9282032303 </span> </span> </span>
