Answer:

y = -3.5x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope with rise over run: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(9 + 5) / (-6 + 2)

14/-4

= -3.5

Then, plug this and a point into the equation y = mx + b to find b:

y = mx + b

9 = -3.5(-6) + b

9 = 21 + b

-12 = b

Then, plug this and the slope into the equation again:

y = mx + b

y = -3.5x - 12 will be the equation

Answer:

y = -7/2x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-point form of the equation for a line is useful for this.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

y = (9 -(-5))/(-6-(-2))(x -(-2)) -5

y = 14/-4(x +2) -5

y = -7/2x -12 . . . . the line through the given points

A candle maker has 4 1/2 pounds of clear wax. He wants to cut the wax into pieces that are 2/3 pound each. How many 2/3 pound pi

maks197457 [2]

$\bf \cfrac{4\frac{1}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{\frac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{\frac{9}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies 6\frac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so, 6 whole pieces, and }\frac{3}{4}\textit{ of another one}$

now, what's the leftover? well, 3/4 of the last one, namely 3/4 of 2/3, what is 3/4 of 2/3 anyway? well, is just their product,

$\bf \cfrac{\underline{3}}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{\underline{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \stackrel{lbs}{\cfrac{1}{2}}$

what number must be added to both numerator and denominator of 16/21 to make the resulting fraction equal to 5/6?

Soloha48 [4]

9 because 16 plus 9 is 25 and 21 plus 9 is 30. now you have 25/30
Now you have to simplify:

25 divided 5 is 5 and 30 divided 5 is 6. So 5/6
