4 0

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The line passes through points (0,1) and (4, -2).

$m=\frac{-2-1}{4-0}=\frac{-3}{4} =-\frac{3}{4}$

The slope of the line should be $-\frac{3}{4}$ .

8. Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x + 5y = 15 and passes through the

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3$

Explanation:

part A identification for slope:

$\sf 2x + 5y = 15$

$\sf 5y = -2x + 15$

$\sf y = \frac{-2x + 15}{5}$

$\sf y = -\frac{2 }{5} x+3$

comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b

we can find that here the slope is $\bold -\frac{2}{5}$

part B, solving the equation:

if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.

given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )

using the equation:

y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )

$\sf y - 1 = \bold -\frac{2}{5} (x --10)$

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -4 + 1$

$\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3$

Extra information:

check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.

Calculate the slope of the line that contains the points (-2, -4) and (2, 4).

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Slope is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2, -4) and (2, 4)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4+4)/(2+2)

m=8/4

m = 2

Given that x = -2 - 3i and y = 4 + 2i , Match The Expressions.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$3y-2x=16+12i$

$-3x \cdot y=6+48i$

$x \cdot 2y=-4-32i$

$x-y=-6-5i$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$x=-2-3i$

$y=4+2i$

---

1st problem:

$3y-2x$

$3(4+2i)-2(-2-3i)$

Distribute:

$12+6i+4+6i$

Combine like terms:

$16+12i$

---

2nd problem:

$-3x \cdot y$

$-3(-2-3i) cdot (4+2i)$

$-3(-2-3i)(4+2i)$

Distribute -3 to first factor:

$(6+9i)(4+2i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$24+12i+36i+18i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$24+48i-18$

Combine like terms:

$6+48i$

---

3rd problem:

$x \cdot 2y$

$(-2-3i) \cdot 2(4+2i)$

Distribute 2 to the second factor:

$(-2-3i) \cdot (8+4i)$

$(-2-3i)(8+4i)$

Use foil to simplify:

$-16-8i-24i-12i^2$

Replace $i^2$ with -1:

$-16-32i+12$

Combine like terms:

$-4-32i$

----

4th problem:

$(-2-3i)-(4+2i)$

Distribute:

$-2-3i-4-2i$

Combine like terms:

$-2-4-3i-2i$

Simplify:

$-6-5i$
