Hello!

To find the slope of a line, we use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1.

Each ordered pair can either represent the 1,s or the 2,s and the slope will be the same. For our example, lets have (-1,-17) represent (x1,y1) and (-4.-2) represent (x2,y2).

We will plug these values into the equation.

-2+17/-4+1
15/-3
-5

The slope of the line is -5, but let's check our answer by switching the 1's and 2's.

-17+2/-1+4
-15/3
-5

The slope of the line is -5.

I hope this helped you!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say, a=9,b=11,c=6

Answer:

2.48×10^13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are about (365.25 days)(86400 seconds/day) = 31,557,600 seconds in one year. There are 1609.344 meters in one mile. So, the conversion can be written as ...

(4.22 ly) (3×10^8 m/s) (3.15576×10^7 s/yr) / (1.609344×10^3 m/mi)

= 4.22×3×3.15576/1.609344×10^(8+7-3) mi

≈ 24.8×10^12 mi

4.22 light years is about 2.48×10^13 miles
