Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (-1,8) and (2,-4) is:

  • y=-4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-1,8)
  • (2,-4)

\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(2,\:-4\right)

m=\frac{-4-8}{2-\left(-1\right)}

m=-4

As the point-slope form of the line equation is

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where m is the slope.

substituting the values m = -4 and the point (-1,8)

y-\(8\right=-4\left(x-\left(-1\right)\right)

y-8 = -4(x+1)

Add 8 to both sides

y-8+8=-4\left(x+1\right)+8

y=-4x+4

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1,8) and (2,-4) is:

  • y=-4x+4

Whats this answer i need it fast uwu
IrinaVladis [17]
Find slope (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Pick points: (1,10) , (2,8)
(8-10)/(2-1) = -2/1 = -2
Y = -2x + b
10 = -2 + b, b = 12
It would be the first response
12 = initial while -2 is rate of change

Rex weighed 80 pounds a year ago. Now he weighs 92 pounds. What is the percent increase in his weight?
Anna11 [10]
So increased weight = 92-80 = 12

so ℅ = 12×100/80 = 15

so his weight is increased by 15℅ !!

Dovator [93]

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

50+160=210.

210 is a 31.25% increase from 160

Multiply 120 by 1.3125 to get 157.5

subtract 120 from 157.5 to get a 37.5km increase or a 31.25% increase :)
