Answer:

  A.  15x +14y = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two points, we can start with the 2-point form of the equation for a line.

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

  y = (6 -(-9))/(-8 -6)(x -6) +(-9)

  y = 15/-14(x -6) -9

Multiplying by -14, we have ...

  -14y = 15x -90 +126

Adding 14y-36 to both sides gives ...

  -36 = 15x +14y . . . . matches choice A

The standard-form equation is ...

  15x +14y = -36

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

It can be easier to start with the form ...

  (Δy)x -(Δx)y = (Δy)x1 -(Δx)y1 . . . . . where Δx = x2-x1 and Δy = y2-y1

This gives ...

  (6+9)x -(-8-6)y = 15(6) +14(-9)

  15x +14y = -36 . . . simplified

__

You can also start with the slope-intercept form or the point-slope form, if you're more familiar with those. The result will be the same. I find it handy to be familiar with a number of different forms of the equation for a line.

Y - 8 = -10<br> How do I verify the solution ?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

Solve the equation.

  • Add 8 to both sides in order to isolate the equation.

=> y - 8 + 8 = -10 + 8

=> y = -2

∴ y = -2

<u>VERIFICATION :-</u>

To verify the solution of y , just put the solution (y = -2) in place of y in equation and check whether L.H.S = R.H.S.

L.H.S :-

-2 - 8 = <u>-10</u>

R.H.S. :-

<u>-10</u> (already given)

⇒L.H.S. = R.H.S. (verified)

andrew-mc [135]
At the 3/4 marker, the rider can collect a green ribbon and a blue ribbon.

Because 3/4 is the 3rd stop for a blue ribbon and 3/4 is the 6th stop for a green ribbon.
