(-2,2)(5,1)
slope(m) = (1 - 2) / (5 - (-2) = -1 / 7
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/7
use either of ur points....(5,1)....x = 5 and y = 1
now sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/7(5) + b
1 = -5/7 + b
1 + 5/7 = b
7/7 + 5/7 = b
12/7 = b
equation is : y = -1/7x + 12/7....but we need it in standard form...
y = -1/7x + 12/7
1/7x + y = 12/7
x + 7y = 12 <== standard form
<h2><u><em>Yes, He Has That Correctly</em></u></h2>
Answer:
C: x≥12
D: x<-15
E: x<7.5 or 15/2
F: x<-8
G: x≥-2.7 or -8/3
H: x≥-6
Step-by-step explanation:
I trust you know how to graph it
Let <span>the town courthouse be the origin of coordinate plane, the positive direction of x-axis is west and negative direction is east, the positive direction of y-axis is north and negative direction is south. Then a lawyer home has coordinates (-2,3) and lawyer office has coordinates (5, -21).
</span>
Use the distance formula

to get the <span>distance between lawyer's home and office:

Answer: 25 miles.
Its absolute value so the negative on the inside would change to positive, so the answer would remain -7 and 3/5. same with the other one, except you multiply the 3 to the -1, making it -3
