We need more detail to help with the problem.
The question is, "how many ways ...".
There are as many ways to solve a math problem as you can think of. (Some are shorter or easier than others.)
Essentially, an infinite number.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-7z/2 - 2 + z -3
=-5 - 5z/2
B. (6, -8)
First, you need to figure out the slope of the line
(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
After substituting points D(-3, 4) A(3, -4)
[4 - (-4)] / (-3 - 3)
(8) / (-6)
The slope of the line is -8/6 or -4/3 simplified
Then you can put it in point slope form:
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - y1) = -4/3(x - x1)
The point that I am using for point slope form is A(3, -4)
[y - (-4)] = -4/3(x - 3)
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
Next you have to simplify the equation so that y is isolated
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
First distribute the -4/3
y + 4 = -4/3(x) + (-4/3)(-3)
y + 4 = -4/3x + 4
Subtract 4 on both sides
y + 4 - 4 = -4/3x + 4 - 4
y = -4/3x
Now that you have y = -4/3x, you can substitute the values until one of them makes the equation equal
For example) (6, -8)
-8 = -4/3(6)
-8 = -8
So since (6, -8) fits in the slope intercept equation, it must me collinear with points A and D
