A line passes through the points (-1, -6) and (-4, 3). What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?

Since we have two ordered pairs, we can find the slope by plugging them into (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which translates to (3-(-6))/(-4-(-1))=9/-3=-3

Since the slope is -3, we have the equation y=-3x+b, but we don't know b. So we plug in values for x and y and solve for b.

-6=-3(-1)+b

-6=3+b

-9=b

So the y-intercept is -9 and the full equation is y=-3x-9 which means A is the only correct answer.

Hope this helped!

What is the recursive rule for the following arithmetic sequence?<br><br> -7, -4, -1, 2, 5, …
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Recursive rule for arithmetic sequence = an = a[n-1] + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given arithmetic sequence;

-7, -4, -1, 2, 5, …

Find:

Recursive rule for arithmetic sequence;

Computation:

Let a1 = -7

So,

⇒ a2 = a1 + 3 = -4

⇒ a3 = a2 + 3 = -1

⇒ a4 = a3 + 3 = 2

⇒ a5 = a4 + 3 = 5

So, the recursive formula is

⇒ an = a[n-1] + 3

Recursive rule for arithmetic sequence = an = a[n-1] + 3

Which does NOT represent the interior angle measures of a triangle?
lord [1]

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angles of a triangle ALWAYS have to be equal to 180

The sum of A is 180, however, those angles wont work because they have to be more close to eachother for it to be possible

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the other 2 sides

the doctor recommended that Matt increase the number of calories you consume from 2000 to 2800 by what percent did the number of
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

40% number of calories have increased

Step-by-step explanation:

Old Value ( Calories consume before)  = 2000

New Value (increase in Calories consumed) = 2800

We need to find by what percent did the number of calories increase ​

To find percent increase, the formula used is:

Percent\: increase=\frac{New\:Value-Old\:Value}{Old\:Value}\times 100%

Putting values in formula and finding percent increase

Percent\: increase=\frac{New\:Value-Old\:Value}{Old\:Value}\times 100\%\:\\Percent\: increase=\frac{2800-2000}{2000}\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=\frac{800}{2000}\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=0.4\times 100\%\: \\Percent\: increase=40\%

So, 40% number of calories have increased
