Answer:

Equation: y=2x-1

Slope: 2

y-intercept: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (-1, -3) and (-2, -5). We need to find the slope, equation of the line, and the y intercept of the line

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from two points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) are points

We have everything we need for the formula, but let's label the values of the points to avoid any confusion

x1=-1

y1=-3

x2=-2

y2=-5

Now substitute into the formula (remember: the formula has SUBTRACTION):

m=\frac{-5--3}{-2--1}

simplify

m=\frac{-5+3}{-2+1}

add

m=\frac{-2}{-1}

divide

m=2

So the slope is <u>2</u>

Now let's find the equation of the line

The question asks for it to be in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

We calculated the slope from earlier, so let's substitute that into the equation

y=2x+b

Now we need to find b

The equation will pass through both (-1, -3) and (-2, -5) so we can use either one of them to solve for b (doesn't matter which one)

Let's take (-1, -3) as an example

substitute -1 as x and -3 as y into the equation

-3=2(-1)+b

multiply

-3=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides

<u>-1=b (the value of the y intercept!) </u>

Substitute -1 as b into the equation

<u>y=2x-1</u>

We found everything needed for this problem

Hope this helps!

Answer:

141.12 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

   Since the area of a trapezoid is the average of the bases multiplied by the height, we can just plug these numbers into the equation! Since the average of 10.2 and 12.2 is 11.2, and the height is 12.6, we multiply them to get the area to be 141.12 cm^2.

Answer:

\large \boxed{\mathrm{2.1 \ is \ to \ the \ left \ of \ 2.8 \ on \ a \ horizontal \ number \ line}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2.1

\sf 2.1 \  is \ lesser \ than \ 2.8.

\sf A \ number \ that \ is \ lesser \ than \ another \ number \ is \ to \ the \ left \\ \ of \ that \ number \ on \ a \ horizontal \ number \ line.

Masja [62]
Average is the...basic number in the set. So, the one that is more relatable. 
Based on that knowledge, just use your data that have or chose and find the most common one.
Hope this helps!
