Answer:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

You only need two points on a line to find the equation for that line.

We are going to use 2 points that cross that line or at least come close to. You don't have to use the green points... just any point on the line will work.  You might have to approximate a little.

I see ~(67.5,67.5) and ~(64,65).

Now once you have your points, we need to find the slope.

You may use \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) are points on the line.

Or you can line up the points vertically and subtract then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

Like this:

(  64  ,   65  )

-( 67.5, 67.5 )

--------------------

-3.5        -2.5

So the slope is -2.5/-3.5=2.5/3.5=25/35=5/7.

Now use point-slope form to find the equation:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope and (x_1,y_1) is a point on the line.

y-65=\frac{5}{7}(x-64)

Distribute:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{5}{7}\cdot 64

Simplify:

y-65=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}

Add 65 on both sides:

y=\frac{5}{7}x-\frac{320}{7}+65

Simplify:

y=\frac{5}{7}x+\frac{135}{7}

Find the product of (k – 9)2 using the perfect square trinomial rule shown on the left.
laiz [17]
(k-9)²
=(k-9)(k-9)
=k(k)-9(k)-9(k)-9(-9)
=k²-9k-9k+81
=k²-18k+81. As a result, the product of (k – 9)2 using the perfect square trinomial rule shown on the left is k²-18k+81. Hope it help!
