Write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-2, 3) and (-4, 4) in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first step is to find the gradient of the line which "m" on the equation
gradient formula is y2 - y1 ÷ x2 - x1 = -½ as shown on the picture we substituted those points given
2nd step is to substitute on the equation y=mx+c
m= -½
y= 3 (you can choose any from those given points but in my case I chose point A)
x= -2
c= ? only unknown variable so we can can calculate it
substitute as shown on the picture to get c= 2
therefore our equation of the line will be y= -½x+2

Answer:
38cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The perimeter of a square can be found with the formula
2. Since its length and width are whole numbers, it must be either
1 x 18,
2 x 9 or
3 x 6
3. Using the formula in step 1, we can found that the perimeter in these cases are
38
22
18
respectively
4. Compare those perimeter we found in previous step, it's obvious that the greatest is 38. Solved.
