Answer:

The three consecutive numbers cannot be 4, 5, and 6 because, the result will be 36 ≠ 18, which is indeterminate

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The three consecutive positive numbers Chloe is trying to find are x, x+1, x + 2

The conditions of the three positive numbers are;

6 × (x + 2) = 2 × (x + x + 1)

We check if the three consecutive numbers can be 4, 5, and 6 by substituting the values as follows;

x + 2 = 6

x + 1 = 5

x = 4

Which gives;

6 × (6) ≠ 2 × (4 + 5)

36 ≠ 18

Therefore, the three consecutive numbers cannot be 4, 5, and 6

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form given;<br> (6,-3), (0, 5)
olganol [36]

Answer:

y=(-4/3)x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

so you want to start by using y=mx+b

step one: find the slope (remember m is the slope in this)

m= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

m= \frac{5+3}{0-6}

m= \frac{8}{-6}

m= - \frac{4}{3\\}

step two: insert the value we found for m into the equation and take one of the given points and insert the x and y into the equation (im using (0,5)) and solve for b.

y=mx+b

5= -4/3(0)+b

5=b

step three: rewrite y=mx+b with the values we found for m and for b

y=(-4/3)x+5
