Hello there,
Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:
Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:
= 
= 
From this you know that is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:
(-14) = (-22) + b
(-14) = (-11) + b
-3 = b
That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:
y = - 3
Hope I helped,

Reading the question carefully, "<span>He draws the diameter of the circle through center P using a straight edge. Next he opens his compass to a width equivalent to the radius of the circle." - that implies that Mateo is still in the process of drawing the circle by which the equilateral is inscribed to.
The next steps should be:
*He should draw the upper and lower arcs using the compass opened to a width equivalent to the radius of the sircle.
*Make a vertical diameter using centroid P as basis.
*Draw two right triangles facing the opposite directions using the top most point by which the vertical diameter of the circle touches the top most circumference of the circle.
Doing these steps, Mateo will be able to draw an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle.

Answer:
x= -2/3 y+4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve for x.
3x+2y=12
Step 1: Add -2y to both sides.
3x+2y+−2y=12+−2y
3x=−2y+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.
3x
3
=
−2y+12

Omg that so nice I love this app sm
Answer: a) y=-29x-20 b) y=3/5x-18
Step-by-step explanation:
a) m = (-49-38)/(1 - (-2)) = -87/3 = -29
y=-29x+b --> Substitute (1,-49) as a point
(-49)=-29(1)+b
-49=-29+b
-b=-29+49
b=-20
Therefore, the equation of the line is y=-29x-20
b) m = (-18-(-9)/(0-15)) = -9/-15 = 3/5
The y-intercept is (0,-18) as it's where the line intersects the y-axis and x equals 0
Therefore, the equation of the line is y=3/5x-18
