Answer:
scalene triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
I think it is 77% or 77.7`% ,but tell me if I'm wrong
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
A parallel line has the same slope as the original line. So in this case the slope of the line is also 3/4. Now how do we know if it intersects the point? We need to adjust the y intercept.
Currently, we know the equation of the line is y= 3/4 x + b, where b is the thing we are looking for. We also have a point, which supplies the x and y. Plug that in and solve for b
-2 = (3/4)*(12) + b
You'll get b= -11
So the equation of the parallel line intersecting the point given is y= 3/4x -11.
I am assuming that the slope is 3/4 based on the way you formatted the original equation, but it's the same steps if the slope is different.
Answer:
-2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do the slope intercept form (y=mx+b) you'll get -2/3
The y-intercept would be at (0,8)
