The intercepts are the points where the line meets with the x axis and the y axis. First let us find the equation of the line.

Finding slope:

slope=change in y/change in x (y2-y1/x2-x1)

slope=-3-(-8)/-4-(-1)=5/-3=-5/3

Finding y-intercept:

y=mx+b

-8=-5/3(-1)+b

b=-9 2/3

y intercept: (0,-9 2/3)

Equation: y=-5/3x-9 2/3

Since we already have the y intercept let us find the x intercept by plugging 0 in the place of y in the equation.

0=-5/3x-9 2/3

x=29/3x(-3/5)

x=-29/5

x intercept: (-29/5,0)

answers: (0,-9 2/3) and (-29/5,0)

Is the sum of two rational numbers always rational
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

in short, Yes they are always rational.

here's why...

E.g. suppose \frac{c}{d} and \frac{a}{b} are fractions, that means that a,b,c,d are all integers, and b and d are not zero. finding the sum the numerator, and denominator would also have to be integers. the denominator of the sum can't be zero since the denominators of the fractions were not zero, and would give \frac{ad+bc}{bd} and since they are bound by addition (sum means addition) they must also be rational since eit would equal a bigger integer than initially had

Solve for x: −2x + 5 &lt; 7 <br> Please Help Meh!! DO you LIKE to see people STRUGGLE?!?!
Arlecino [84]

x > -1


-2x+5 < 7

-2x<2

Now since you divide by (-1) to get positive 2,you need to flip the sign

(-2)/(-1)= 2     2/(-1)=-2

SO

2x>-2

x > -1

To check  the solution do not replace the x by -1 because it shouls be more than -1  (You can choose 0,1,2,3....)

Example  choose x=3

-2x3+5<7

-6+5<7

-1<7

Maru [420]

Answer:

Not Sure Without Slope

Step-by-step explanation:

you could use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)(point slope form) where m is the slope, y1 is the first y point and x1 is the first x point.

For example if a line has slope 3 and passes through the points (5, 6), then the formula you would solve is y-6=3(x-5) to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form and you should know what to do with everything else.
