A) First find the slope of the two coordinates given.

Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Substitute the values of the coordinates. It doesn't matter which coordinate is x1 or x2 as long as thereby value corresponds.

Slope = -5 - 4 / 2 - (-10)

Slope = -9 / 12

Slope = -3/4

Then, plug in either of the coordinates into the equation of a line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -3/4(x - (-10)

y - 4 = -3/4(x + 10)

y - 4 = -3/4x - 7.5

y = -3/4x - 3.5


Check if using the other coordinate makes a difference.

y - (-5) = -3/4(x - 2)

y + 5 = -3/4x + 1.5

y = -3/4x - 3.5

The equation of a line for these coordinates is:

y = -3/4x - 3.5


2) Just apply the same concept for the second one :)

Jenny is displaying her photographs
Inga [223]

Answer:

A) 9 photos in each row

B) 14 rows in total

Step-by-step explanation:

Photos of People = 45

Photos of Landscapes = 18

Photos of Pets = 63

Jenny wants to arrange these photos in rows with only one kind of photos in each row and same number of photos in each row. We have to find the greatest possible number of photos in each row. For this we need to find the greatest common factor of 45,18 and 63. This would give us the greatest possible number of photos that can be placed in each row.

By observing the 3 numbers, we can tell that the greatest common factor of these 3 numbers is 9. So, Jenny can place 9 photos in each row.

So,

There will be:

45/9 = 5 rows with photos of people

18/9 = 2 rows of photos of landscapes

63/9 = 7 rows of photos of pets

So, total number of rows would be = 5 + 2 + 7 = 14 rows

If the positive x-axis points to the right and the x-component of velocity is negative, a cart must be moving to the left.
Keith_Richards [23]
<h3>Answer: True</h3>

A negative velocity means the object is going the opposite way of the positive direction. So a negative x component velocity is pointing the opposite way (left) of the positive direction (right). You can think of it as the cart is backing up as it faces the positive direction.
