<h3><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></h3>
  • Calculate the slope with two given coordinate points by using rise over run.

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

Let these points

\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4,  - 1) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 2,  8) \end{cases}

m =  \frac{8 - ( - 1)}{2 - ( - 4)}  \\ m =  \frac{8 + 1}{2 + 4}  \Longrightarrow \frac{9}{6}  \Longrightarrow \frac{3}{2}  \\ m =  \frac{3}{2}

  • Slope-Intercept

y = mx + b \\ m = slope \\ b = y - intercept

Substitute the value of m in the equation.

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + b

  • Substitute any coordinate points that are given or part of the graph in the equation.

(x_, y) = ( - 4,  - 1)

- 1 =  \frac{3}{2} ( - 4) + b

  • Solve the equation for b-term.

- 1 =  \frac{3}{ \cancel{2}} ( \cancel{ - 4})   + b\\  - 1 = 3( - 2) + b \\  - 1 =  - 6 + b \\  - 1 + 6 = b \\ 5 = b

  • Rewrite the equation by substituting the value of b in the equation.

y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 5

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

\large \boxed{y =  \frac{3}{2} x + 5}

Write an expression for the calculation subtract the difference of 20 and 13 from 70.
irakobra [83]
So subtract the diffference of 20 and 13 from 70
so first we find the difference and then subtract that from 70
use parenthases so
difference of 20 and 13 is equal to (20-13)
subtract that from 70
70-(20-13)
so you would do the pemdas and get 7 for the inside parethasees then do
70-7=63


equation is 70-(20-13)

Solve tan theta +1=-2tan theta
Ugo [173]

Answer:

\boxed{135\°,315\°}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the trigonometric equation by isolating the function and then taking the inverse. Use the period to find the full set of all solutions.

\theta = 135+180n

n is any integer value.

The value of n cannot exceed 1 or be less than 0, because the value of \theta must be between 0 and 360 degrees.

\theta = 135+180(0)

\theta = 135

\theta = 135+180(1)

\theta = 315

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation
lara [203]

Answer:

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

Subtract 10 from both sides

x² + 7x = -10

Use half the x coefficent (7/2) as the complete the square term

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + (7/2)²

   note: the number added to "complete the square" is (7/2)² = 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 9/4

Take the square root of both sides

x + 7/2 = ±3/2

Subtract 7/2 from both sides

x = -7/2 ± 3/2

x = {-5, -2}
