Answer:

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,1) and (8,7)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(7-1)/(8-2)

m=6/6

m = 1

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -9) and (7, 7).

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$\displaystyle y + 9 = \frac{16}{13} ( x + 6 )$

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y - k = m ( x - h )

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes.

Given a line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the slope can be calculated with the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given the points (-6,-9) and (7,7), thus the slope is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{7+9}{7+6}=\frac{16}{13}$

Now we apply the point-slope formula using the point (-6,-9):

$\mathbf{\displaystyle y + 9 = \frac{16}{13} ( x + 6 )}$

This equation is expressed in the required format

One month Lucy rented 9 movies and 7 video games for a total of $65 . The next month she rented 3 movies and 5 video games for a

postnew [5]

You would answer this question using simultaneous equations, so if m is movies and v is video games, then:
9m + 7v = 65
3m + 5v = 37

9m + 7v = 65
9m + 15v = 111
(minus)
-8v = -46
÷ -8
v = $5.75
Then you can substitute the value of V in to find the value of m, so:
3m + (5 × 5.75) = 37
3m + 28.75 = 37
- 28.75
3m = 8.25
÷ 3
m = 2.75
So you get the answers as Video Games are $5.75 each and Movies are $2.75 each, I hope this helps!
