Answer:

y=-2x+19

Step-by-step explanation:

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:  m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }.

Now we have,

m= 3-7/8-6

m=-2. Since m=-2, the equation is y=-2x+b.

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(6,7). When x of the line is 6, y of the line must be 7.

(8,3). When x of the line is 8, y of the line must be 3.

Substitute them to the equation  y=-2x+b.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(6,7). y=mx+b or 7=-2 × 6+b, or solving for b: b=7-(-2)(6). b=19.

(8,3). y=mx+b or 3=-2 × 8+b, or solving for b: b=3-(-2)(8). b=19.

So, the equation of the line that passes through the points

(6,7) and (8,3)  is  y=-2x+19.

How many triangles can be made with the angle 70°, 70°, and 70°
seraphim [82]
Hey there!
Your answer is 0.
All the angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees.
However, the sum of these angles is not equal to 180 degrees.
70 + 70 + 70 = 210
210 is not equal to 180.
Hence, no triangles can be made using the angles 70, 70, and 70.
Hope this helps!

anna owes home antiques Whose value is 160000 today assuming normal growth. however anna believes the value will grow at 16% per
Ray Of Light [21]
The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value?
P present value 160000
R interest rate 0.16
T time 3years
A=160,000×(1+0.16)^(3)
A=249,743.36

Use that future value to find the present value at a rate 8% compounded annually
To find p (present value) solve the formula for p
P=A÷ (1+r)^t
Where r is 0.08
P=249,743.36÷(1+0.08)^(3)
p=198,254.33

Answer:

  5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The kite is symmetrical about the long axis, so the height of each of the triangles is half the overall width of the kite. (10 cm/2 = 5 cm)

The height of the triangle <em>h</em> is 5 cm.
