(3,7) \ and  \ (4,-8)\\ \\ First \  find \ the \  slope \ of \ the \ line \ thru \  the \  points \: \\ \\ m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} }  \\ \\m=\frac{-8-7}{4-3} =  \frac{-15}{1}=-15 \\ \\Now \  use \ y = mx + b \ with  \ either \  point \  to  \ find  \ b,  \ the \  y-intercept \ : \\ \\ y=mx+b \\ \\7=-15*3+b\\ \\7=-45 +b \\ \\b=7+45\\ \\b=52 \\ \\  y= - 5x+52 \ is \  the \  answer

What is m∠Q ?
ddd [48]
Unlike the previous problem, this one requires application of the Law of Cosines.  You want to find angle Q when you know the lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle.

Law of Cosines:  a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc cos A

Applying that here:

                           40^2 = 32^2 + 64^2 - 2(32)(64)cos Q

Do the math.  Solve for cos Q, and then find Q in degrees and Q in radians.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x+3y=-15 that passes through the origin
Monica [59]
You would subtract x from each side. It would then be 3y=-x-15. Then you would divide all of the equation by 3. Your final answer would be y=-3x-5.

I am confused about how to explain this: Explain the difference in meaning between |-3| and -3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

|-3| means the absolute value of -3. The absolute value sign means the number without its negative. The dictionary says: the magnitude of a real number without regard to its sign.

So |-3|= 3 and -3= -3
