A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8).

1 answer:

6 0

If you wrote this in point-slope form, it’ll be y+8=-6(x-2).

This equation written in slope intercept form would be y = -6x+4.

He messed up because he was supposed to change the double negative into a positive then solve. He was not supposed to add 8 on both sides.

So, the answer is y = -6x+4.

Hope this helps!

My little brother needs help with this:

It can be done so in simple daily calculations such as calculating how much money you'll have after after you spend some.

<span>$100- $52= $48

and if you switch it into an addition problem you will get

$100+(-52)= $48,

Or you can get $48 + $52 = $100</span>

1. Name a pair of supplementary angles in this figure.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

FEJ and JED

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary means that the pair of angles add up to 180° or a straight angle. FEJ and JED are both 90° and so they add up to 180° But there are many pairs of angles that are NOT 90° that add up to 180° (but they just weren't in the answer choices)
