Answer:

y - 3 = 2(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use rise over run to find the slope

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(3 + 7) / (-1 + 6)

10 / 5

= 2

Now, plug in the slope and a point into the point slope formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = 2(x + 1)

So, the equation in point slope form is y - 3 = 2(x + 1)

3/4 of 7 pints were used. of, in this case, means to multiply. 3/4 x 7= 21/4= 5 and 1/4 pints. Now we subtract 5 and 1/4 (because this is how much was used) from 7. 7- 5 and 1/2 = 1 and 1/2

Find the difference. Enter your answer in simplest terms, using the slash (/) as the fraction bar.

Kitty [74]

So, difference as in subtract? so, if it is, it would be 15. if it means percent difference, it's about 60%.

What is the distance of the line? Remember the distance formula is (23 - 23) + (42 -

vivado [14]

Answer:

The distance of the line is 10.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between two Points in the Plane

Given two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

The graph clearly shows the points (-5,4) (4,-2), thus the distance is:

$d=\sqrt{(4-(-5))^2+(-2-4)^2}=\sqrt{9^2+(-6)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{81+36}=\sqrt{117}=10.82$

The distance of the line is 10.82

Turn 20/12 into a mixed number

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

well first reduce it which would be 5/3 since the greatest common denominator would be 4. Then put 3 in the 5 which goes only once and 2 is left over. Keep the threeas the denominator instead of the numerator.
