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.

Help plsssssssss ....
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Arccos(0.9272) =0.383929333 radian

0.383929333 radian =(0.383929333*57.2957795)degrees

so, 21.99 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding to the nearest we get 22 degrees

We know that,

1 radian is equal to 57.2957795

so we multiply the radian value 0.383929333 with it

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

557.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Download photomath on Appstore it'll help you explain. but basically you multiply each digit at the bottom to the whole number on the top

    23.50

<u>x   </u><u>23.74</u>

       940     ====== 23.50 multiply to 4

    16450     ====== 23.50 multiply to 7

    70500    ====== 23.50 multiply to 3

<u>+   470000   </u> ====== 23.50 multiply to 2

   557.890    ====== Add all the numbers together, move the decimal sign down to align with the result
