What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (4,−2) and has a slope of −2?​

Answer:y=-2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (4,-2) and has a slope of -2.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -2. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-2x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(4,-2). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be -2.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,-2).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number -2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,-2). y=mx+b or -2=-2 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=-2-(-2)(4). b=6.

4.02 Congruent Triangles, doess anyone have tips on how to do this? im getting confused with the SSS, SSA , SAS
Bogdan [553]
SSS is side side side so all the sides have to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

SSA is side side angle so two sides and an angle needs to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

SAS is side angle side so two sides and an included triangle need to be congruent for the triangles to be congruent.

Hope that helps:)

Hi! 6 questions, find the slope of the line through the given points, ty! They should be practice questions
denis23 [38]

Answer:

3. undefined (vertical line)

4. 1

7. -4

8. 3

11. undefined (vertical line)

12. -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the slope formula to calculate the slope which is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

3. (-4 - (-2)) /  (6-6)  denominator is 0 here so the slope is undefined (vertical line)

4. (7 - 1) / (-2 - (-4)) = 6 / 6 = 1

7. (1 - (-7)) / (2 - 4) = 8 / -2 = -4

8. (-1 - 5) / (0 -2 ) = -6 / -2 = 3

11. (3 - 0) / (-6 - (-6)) = 3 / 0 = undefined (vertical line

12. (2 - 3) / (-5 - (-2) = 1 / -3 = -1/3

What is the probability of drawing a king and a diamond from a standard deck of cards
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

P(king or diamond) = P(king) + P(diamond) - P(king and diamond) P(king or diamond) = (4/52) + (13/52) - (1/52) P(king or diamond) = 16/52 Page 5 P(king or diamond) = 4/13.
