If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.
Thus,
-6 - (-8) 2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
-7 - (-3) -4
Then the following must be true:
4-(-6) 10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
c - (-7) c + 7
Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27
Answer:
2, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 4x - 12
A = 1
B = 4
C = -12
i used the "X" method to solve for the solutions. i think it's easier than using the quadratic formula but it doesn't always work
for the "X" method you have to multiply your A value and your C value together so 1 x (-12) = -12. that is going to be the top part of the X
the bottom part of the x will be your B value which is 4
we have to find multiples of -12 that will also add to 4
so -2 and 6 multiply to -12 but also add to 4 so we know these numbers will work
i added added two drawings to show how i found the solutions using the "X" method and the quadratic formula
Answer:
i think you put the 7.3X2+9.1 then divided it by 8.7 -6.1

Answer:
The equation is;
y = -2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel, then they have an equal value of slope
Mathematically we can generally have the equation of a line written as;
y = mx + c
where m
is slope and c is the y-intercept
In the case of the equation given, the slope of the line is -2
So technically, we want to get the equation of a line that has a slope of -2 and it passes through (2,-7)
The point-slope form can be written as;
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
So the equation we want to get is;
y-(-7) = -2(x-2)
y + 7 = -2x + 4
y = -2x + 4 - 7
y = -2x - 3
