Answer:

No relation ( see bottom for detail )

I'm not sure if you want this explanation, but here you go.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find out if the points are on this line, substitute in the values.

y = 2/5x - 4               y = 2/5x - 4

6 = 2/5 ( 4 ) - 4         9 = 2/5 ( -2 ) - 4

6 = 8/5 -4                 9 = -4/5 - 4

6 = 8/5 - 20/5           9 = -4/5 - 20/5

6 ≠ -12/5                    9 ≠ -24/5

After substituting in the values, I've come to the conclusion that these points don't pass through this line.

Solving to find if they are perpendicular, I use the rise/run equation-

y_2 - y_1 over x_2 - x_1

y_2 and x_2 is the second set of points, which then can help determine the slope of two points.

<u>6 - 9</u>

4 - ( negative 2 )    ( this is also equal to adding a positive 2 )

-3 / 6

= -1/2 is the slope of these two points

Comparing the slopes given, I can conclude that the equation and these two points have no relation.

If you find a common denominator for the two, which is 12 it will make it easier to add. So 4 3/12 + 3 4/12 = 7 7/12.
your answer is 7 7/12.

I need help with this equation. 9q - 14 + 3(q - 8) = 7 I looked it up and the answer was 3.75, however I don't understand how it
coldgirl [10]
Parentheses first

9q-14+3q-3(8)=7
9q-14+3q-24=7

Combine like terms

9q + 3q - 14 - 24 = 7
12q -38=7

add 38 to both sides

12q - 38 + 38 = 7 + 38

12q = 45

divide both sides by 12

q = 45/12
q = 3.75
