hi

You have two points     A ( X;Y)  and B ( X ; Y)

slope is   :    ( Yb -Ya)   / (Xb -Xa )

A(2 ; 1)  and  B (17 ; - 17)  

so   :  (-17 - 1 )  / (17 -2) =  -18/ 15 =  - 6*3 / 5*3 =  -6/5

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through point -2, one
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: y= 1/3 x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1= 1/3(-2) + b where b is the y intercept

  1=   -2/3 + B

+2/3   +2/3

B = 5/3

so we know the slope and the y- intercept

y= 1/3x + 5/3   check:   1=1/3(-2) +5/3

                                    1 =1

Which represents the solution(s) of the graphed system of equations, y = x2 + 2x – 3 and y = x – 1?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Second option: (-2,-3) and (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations \left \{ {{y = x^2 + 2x-3} \atop {y = x - 1}} \right., you can rewrite them in this form:

x^2 + 2x-3= x - 1

Simplify:

x^2 + 2x-3-x+1=0\\\\x^2+x-2=0

Factor the quadratic equation. Choose two number whose sum be 1 and whose product be -2. These are: 2 and -1, then:

(x+2)(x-1)=0\\\\x_1=-2\\\\x_2=1

Substitute each value of "x"  into any of the original equation to find the values of "y":

y_1= (-2) - 1=-3\\\\y_2=(1)-1=0

Then, the solutions are:

(-2,-3) and (1,0)

What is 258/300 as a percent
Step2247 [10]
To transform it into percent we want to have 100 into denominator. The easiest way is divide numerator and denominator by 3 (thats because than it doesnt change the value of fraction), so:
\frac{258}{300}= \frac{258:3}{300:3}= \frac{86}{100} = 86% - its the result
