Answer:

y = (-6/13)x + (4/13).,

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the line is:

y = mx + b, where "m" is the slope and "b" gives the y-intercept

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

m = (-2 - 4)/(5 - (-8))

m = -6/13

y = (-6/13)x + b

the line passes through the point (-8,4) means that for x = -8, y = 4

4 = (-6/13)(-8) + b

b = 4 - (-6/13)(-8)

b = 4/13

the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8,4) and (5,-2) is:

y = (-6/13)x + (4/13).

A pair of jeans originally cost $80, but is on sale for 30% off. there is a coupon available for an additional 10% off of the sa
Lady_Fox [76]
30% = 0.3. 

0.3*80 = 24, so we know that 30% of 80 is 24. 

80 - 24 = 56, so after the sale, the price for a pair of jeans is $56.

10% = 0.1

0.1*56 = 5.6, so with the coupon, we get $5.60 off. 

56 - 5.60 = 50.40

The jeans cost $50.40 after the sale and the coupon.

James defines an angle as "a figure consisting of two rays." His statement is not precise enough because he should specify that
riadik2000 [5.3K]

James should define that the rays must be collinear. the two rays coming from the same point will form collinear rays which will form an angle at end point.

The statement of james should be precise in order to clearly explain the angle formation.

The two non collinear rays will form an angle at end point where they meet with each other.

The defined vertex will form the appropriate angle. there should be defined term for the non collinear rays.
