Answer: y+1=-7 (x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for point-slope form is y-y1= m (x-x1)

Step 1- Finding the slope by using formula    \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}:

(5,-1) (6,-8) or (x1, y1) (x2, y2)

-8+1 = -7

6-5 = 1

Slope + -7/1 or -7

Step 2- Then insert numbers in point slope form:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y+1 = -7 (x-5)

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given points:
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a line is Ax+By=C

First, we need to find the slope, or change in y over change in x. For the first one, this is

\frac{6-(-2)}{2-2}, which is impossible to find as we cannot divide by 0, meaning that this is constant horizontally -- in this case, x=2. Thus, we have 1*x+0*y=2.

For the second one, we can find the slope by getting

\frac{0-4}{3-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{6 }  = \frac{-2}{3}. We can then take the point (3,0) (it can be any point on the line) and get our equation to be y-0 = (-2/3) (x-3). Converting this to standard form, we can expand this to get

y= (-2/3)*x +2

(-2/3)*x+1*y = 2

3(a+4)-5(a-2)=22
3a+12-5a-10=22
-2a+12-10=22
-2a+2=22

I don't know how to answer this question.
laiz [17]

Answer:

- 39/8y

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find a common denominator:

There is already a y in both denominators, so you don't have to worry about that. Since only one denominator has an 8, the other needs to have an 8, so you need to multiply the first fraction by 8 → - 4/y * 8 = - 32/8y

From here you can subtract the numerators:

- 32/8y +(- 7/8y) = - 39/8y

Because you are adding a negative to a negative, it makes the number mroe negative


I hope this helps!

What is the solution to the equation x/3+x/6=7/2
Alchen [17]

Answer:

x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3 + x/6 = 7/2

2x + x = 21

3x = 21

(divide 3 on both sides)

x = 7
