Mathematics

Answer:

y=5/3x+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the points: (1,4) and (-2, -1)

let's first find the slope, which is with the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (m is the slope)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=4

x2=-2

y2=-1

now subsitute into the equation

m=(-1-4)/(-2-1)

m=-5/-3

m=5/3

the slope of the line 5/3

Here's the equation so far:

y=5/3x+b (b is a place holder)

we can substitute either one of the points into the equation so far to find b, because the line will pass through both of them>

let's use (1,4) as an example

4=5/3(1)+b

4=5/3+b

subtract 5/3 from both sides

7/3=b

Now, put it all together:

y=5/3x+7/3

Hope this helps!

What is the GCF of two prime numbers?
ehidna [41]
Prime numbers: numbers which only have the factors of themselves and 1.

They include numbers such as 17, 19, 23, etc. These are numbers which only have two factors: such as 17, with the factors only being 17 and 1.

So therefore, this means, that for any two prime numbers, unless they are the same number, the only factor they will share is 1. So therefore the GCF of two prime numbers is 1.

Hope this helped!
