Answer:
slopes are the same
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 5x - 6 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 5
Calculate the slope between the 2 points using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 16)
m = = = - 5
The slope of the line and the slope between the 2 points are the same
Answer:
D: x = -18
Step-by-step explanation:
A good way to solve this it to input all options until you find the one that fits for both options.
Option A :
15 + 6 / 15 - 3 = 21 / 12 or 7/4
So this one doesn't work.
Option B :
10 + 6 / 10 - 3 = 16 / 7
So this one also doesn't work.
Option C:
3 + 6 / 3 - 3 = 9 / 0 which is 0 by the laws of dividing by zero.
This one also doesn't work leaving only one option.
Option D:
-18 + 6 / -18 - 3 = -12 / -21 or 4 / 7
And by solving we can find out we did our work correctly and get our answer.
