Find an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points (-5, -9) and (2,-7)

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

y=0.3x - 7.6

Step-by-step explanation:

line: y=ax+b

a= Δy ÷ Δx

a= (-9 + 7) ÷ (-5 - 2)

a= -2 ÷ -7 = approximately 0.3

y=0.3x + b

Now you can fill in one of the points to find b (or both to make sure you got the answer right).

0.3 × 2 + b = -7

0.6 + b = -7

b = -7 - 0.6 = approximately -7.6

So: an equation of the line that passes through this pair of points is y=0.3x - 7.6

On a test, i would write as many decimals as possible if not said not to, to get the most exact answer. Also remember to keep calculating with the number on your calculator and not to round them off for the most exact answer.

Im trying to find the measure of the numbered angle:)??
bazaltina [42]
3 and 2 would be 122 since 3 and the 58° are a linear pair making them add up to 180. And 3 and 2 are vertical so they would be congruent.
4 would then have to be 38 since the three angles would have to measure up to 180.
And the 1 would have to be 36 with the same reasoning as before.

Divide x^3-3x^2-10x+24 by x-2
melisa1 [442]
You can do this using synthetic division, which is the easiest way.  If x - 2 = 0, then x = 2.  That 2 will go outside the "box" and the leading coefficients of the terms in the polynomial will go inside the "box".  2    (1   -3    -10    24).  Bring down the first number, the 1.  Multiply that 1 by the 2 to get 2.  Put that 2 up under the -3 and add to get -1.  Multiply that -1 by the 2 to get -2.  Put that =-2 up under the -10 and add to get -12.  Multiply that -12 by the 2 to get -24.  Put the -24 up under the 24 and add to get 0.  That means that x - 2 is a factor of the polynomial.  What's left, the bolded numbers, are the coefficients of a new polynomial that is one degree less than the polynomial you started with.  In other words, when we divide your polynomial by x-2, you get x^2-x-12.

Someone please help me I’m not good in math
Artist 52 [7]
The missing factor is (a -1) I believe. If you foil (5a + 9)(a - 1) you would get 5a^2 + 4a - 9.
