Answer:
y=0.3x - 7.6
Step-by-step explanation:
line: y=ax+b
a= Δy ÷ Δx
a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)
a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3
y=0.3x + b
Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).
0.3 × 2 + b = -7
0.6 + b = -7
b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6
So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6
On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.
2 4/5 , 2.6 , 2.3 would be your answers in descending order. From greatest to least.
33/100
this is the simplest form
tnx
hope i hepled you
Let us assume then that the center is the origin. If the major axis is 18, then a = 9 and a^2=81. If the minor axis is 16, then b = 8 and b^2=64. Now you can write the equation. Remember that this ellipse is vertical and so a^2 goes under y^2
