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.

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.

Car Rentals rents cars and trucks for $25 and $30 a

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:let x be the number of cars, and 7-x be the number of trucks.

25x + 30(7-x) = 195

25x + 210-30x = 195

5x = 15

x = 3

So, 3 cars were not rented. If 7 total vehicles were not rented, 7 - 3 cars = 4 Trucks

4 Trucks were not rented.

I’m supposed to find the slope intercept form. The x intercept is (2,0) and the y intercept is (0,6). I keep getting 6/2. But, t

$\bf \stackrel{x-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})}\qquad \stackrel{y-intercept}{(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})} \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{6-0}{0-2}\implies \cfrac{6}{-2}\implies -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-0=-3(x-2)\implies y=-3x+6$
