Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line between the two points by using the slope formula, m  = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(0)-(-5)}{(-2)-(10)} \\m = \frac{0+5}{-2-10} \\m=\frac{5}{-12}

Thus, the slope of the line is -\frac{5}{12}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{12} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (-2,0), as seen below.) Then, isolate y and expand the right side in the resulting equation to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

y-(0)=-\frac{5}{12} (x-(-2))\\y-0 = -\frac{5}{12} (x+2)\\y = -\frac{5}{12} x-\frac{5}{6}

Answers:

35 much faster - Shark animal

Step-by-step explanation:

so

- a swordfish is 35 much faster than a killer whale because se have to take the maximum Speed of the killer whale away from the maximum Speed of the swordfish so is: 60-25= 35

- And the animal swims a top Speed of about 0.5 Mile for minute Is the Shark animal because: One hour has 60 minutes and of we do 30:60= 0.5 Miles for minute

Answer:

C) 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

8^2 + 15^2 = x^2

64 + 225 = x^2

x^2 = 289

x= _/-289

x = 17

Write the equation of a line passing through (0, 6) and parallel to the line y = 3/2x-7
Shkiper50 [21]
Parallel = same slope
Use formula: y = mx + b
Plug in the values (solve for b)
y = 3/2x + b
6 = 3/2(0) + b, b = 6

Solution: y = 3/2x + 6
