What is the equation of the line that passes through (-2,4) (-6,10)

Answer:

\large\boxed{y-4=-\dfrac{3}{2}(x+2)}\to\boxed{y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+1}\to\boxed{3x+2y=2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of an equation of a line:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

m - slope

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-2, 4) and (-6, 10). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{10-4}{-6-(-2)}=\dfrac{6}{-4}=-\dfrac{6}{4}=-\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{3}{2}(x-(-2))\\\\y-4=-\dfrac{3}{2}(x+2)

If you use the same technique from the first question, you can do:

5x+2=3x+42
2x=40
x=20

For the rest of the questions, please use the same technique if they are vertical because I can't solve all of the questions for you sorry.

the floor of a shed has an area of 96 square feet. the floor is in the shape of a rectangle whose length is 4 feet less than twi
Paul [167]
Alright in this one, you are going to need to factor. 
The width is x
The length is 2x-4
To find the area of a rectangle is L*W
so (2x-4)(x) when distributed is 2x^2 -4x

Then put that in the equation and you have:
2x^2 -4x = 96
2x^2 -4x -96 = 0  

2x^2+12x-16x-96=0
3x(x+4)-4(x+4)=0
(3x-4)=0
(x+4)=0
x=-4
<u>x=3/4</u>
Since length isn't negative
we will use <u>3/4 as x.
</u>
Width= 0.75 ft
Length= 1.5
