What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6, -2) and has a slope of 1/6

1 answer:

4 0

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Step 1: Determine b by using the point (-6,-2), the given slope, and the slope intercept formula, y = mx + b.

$y = mx + b\\\\-2 = \frac{1}{6}(-6) + b\\\\-2 = -1 + b\\\\-1 = b$

Step 2: Now that we have b, we can determine the equation of the line.

$y = \frac{1}{6}x -1$

I didn't use + (-1) because b is negative. Therefore you need to change the equation from y = 1/6x + (-1) to y = 1/6x - 1.

You start driving south for 2 miles, turn left, and drive east for another 9 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straight

yulyashka [42]

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: .

So your straight line distance is 10.

We can also recognize this as a multiple of the 3-4-5 Pythagorean triple. We have , with x being the desired value. Therefore x=10, like previously.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$let \: slope \: be \: s \\ s = \frac{( {y}^{1} - {y}^{o} ) }{( {x}^{1} - {x}^{o} ) } \\ s = \frac{( - 4 - 2)}{( - 3 - 3)} \\ s = \frac{ - 6}{ - 6} \\ s = 1$

A shipping company charged $15 to ship a package and 5% to insure the package. What was the total cost to ship this particular i

Crank

The shipping would be 15.75 because 5% of 15 is 0.75, so add 15 to 0.75 and the answer is 15.75 :)

N = x + y - n = 5 and part two x = u + v = o whats the answer?

Colt1911 [192]

Just substitute the value of x from second equation into first equation:
N = x + y - n = 5
N = u + v + y - n = 5
N = 0 + y - n = 5

In short, N would be equal to y - n which is still equal to 5

Hope this helps!
