Answer:

y=-3x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1

7-1/1-3

simplify

6/-2

simplify

-3

now plug -3 into y=mx+b

y=-3(x)+b

choose any point and plug it into the equation, I am using (3,1)

1=-3(3)+b

simplify

1=-9+b

add 9 to both sides

b=10

plug into slope-intercept form

y=-3x+10

Answer:

8.33333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for 3x-7=18 equation:

3x - 7 = 18

3x = 18 + 7

3x = 25 (divide both sides by 3 to get x)

3x/3 = 25/3

x = 8.33333333333

On a cm grid, point P has coordinates (3,-1) and point Q has coordinates (-5,6) calculate the shortest distance between P and Q

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

10.63cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the distance between two coordinate is expressed as;

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

Given the coordinates (3, -1) and (-5, 6)

D = √(-5-3)²+(6-(-1))²

D = √(-5-3)²+(6+1)²

D = √(-8)²+(7)²

D = √64+49

D = √113

D = 10.63cm

Hence the shortest distance between P and Q is 10.63cm
