Answer:

y = -0.5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of a line given two coordinates, you must first find the slope of the equation.

y = mx + b

To find slope (m), use the equation below:

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

(2, 1)

(-2, 3)

y2 = 1

y1 = 3

x2 = 2

x1 = -2

Slope = (1 - 3) / (2 - -2) = (-2) / (4) = -0.5

y = -0.5x + b

Next, plug in one coordinate in order to solve for b:

Let's plug in the numbers (-2,3)

3 = -0.5 (-2) + b

b = 3 - 1 = 2

Line's equation =

y = -0.5x + 2

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

His book was opened at Page no.296 and Page no.297

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the page number of one page be x

Page number of page facing page no. x = x+1

We are given that the product of the facing pages was 87,912.

So, x(x+1)=87912

x^2+x=87912

x^2+x-87912=0

x^2-296x+297x-87912=0

x(x-296)+297(x-296)=0

(x+297)(x-296)=0

x=296,-297

Since Page no. cannot be negative

So, x=296

x+1=296+1=297

So, his book was opened at Page no.296 and Page no.297

y=-4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

the line goes down 4 for every 1 that x changes. the line crosses the y axis at 5.

Solve the system of equations<br> 3x+4y+12<br> 9x-2y=15
Mrrafil [7]
3x+4y=12
9x-2y=15
we will use elimination
multiply 3x+4y=12 by -3

-9x-12y=-36
9x-2y=15
_________ add
-14y=-21
÷-14 both sides
y=1.5
find x
3x+4 (1.5)=12
3x+6=12
-6 both sides
3x=6
÷3 both sides
x=2

x=2
y=1.5
