Solution:
<u>Step-1: Find the slope of the line.</u>
Formula of slope: y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁
- y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ = Slope
- => -2 - (-5)/-8 - (-4) = Slope
- => -2 + 5/-8 + 4 = Slope
- => 3/-4 = Slope
<u>Step-2: Use the point slope formula to determine the slope.</u>
Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) = Equation of line
- => y - (-5) = -3/4{x - (-4)} = Equation of line
- => y + 5 = -3/4{x + 4} = Equation of line
- => y + 5 = -3x/4 - 3 = Equation of line
- => y = -3x/4 - 8 = Equation of line
The equation of the line is <u>y = -3x/4 - 8.</u>
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: I'd guess it's "find the next number in the sequence" (which is 54)
Discussion:
9 * 1 = 9
9 * 2 = 18
9 * 3 = 27
9 * 4 = 36
9 * 5 = 45
9 * 6 = 54
Thank you,
MrB
