Answer: y=2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find line a in slope-intercept form, we first want to find the slope. The formula for slope is m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

m=\frac{9-1}{2-(-2)} =\frac{8}{4}=2

Now that we know the slope, we can plug in any point to find the y-intercept.

y=2x+b       [plug in any point]

9=2(2)+b    [multiply]

9=4+b         [subtract both sides by 4]

b=5

The final equation is y=2x+5.

Answer:

y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

compute the slope  first-

(-2,1) and (2,9)

m = 9-1/2-(-2) = 8/2+2= 8/4 = 2

knowing the slope take a given point  and substitute  it's x and y values into the equation to solve for 'b' the y-intercept-

y = mx + b,

1 = 2(-2) + b,

1 = -4+ b,

b = 5

our  equation is  y = 2x + 5

if you want an equation parallel  to the line  it  has to have the same slope. Take y = 2x

Huilan is 15 years younger than Thomas. The sum of their ages is 33 . What is Thomas's age?
Sphinxa [80]

h = t - 15

h + t = 33

Because we have a value of h, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for t.

t - 15 + t = 33

Add 15 to both sides.

t + t = 48

Combine like terms.

2t = 48

Divide both sides by 2.

t = 24

<h3>Thomas's age is 24.</h3>

A triangle has side lengths of 9 in, 13 in, and 20 in. What is the measurement of this triangle's largest angle?
Rama09 [41]

1. Given any triangle ABC with sides BC=a, AC=b and AB=c, the following are true :

     i) the larger the angle, the larger the side in front of it, and the other way around as well. (Sine Law) Let a=20 in, then the largest angle is angle A.

      ii) Given the measures of the sides of a triangle. Then the cosines of any of the angles can be found by the following formula:

       a^{2}=b ^{2}+c ^{2}-2bc(cosA)

2.

20^{2}=9 ^{2}+13 ^{2}-2*9*13(cosA)&#10;&#10;400=81+169-234(cosA)   150=-234(cosA)&#10;&#10;cosA=150/-234= -0.641

3. m(A) = Arccos(-0.641)≈130°,

4. Remark: We calculate Arccos with a scientific calculator or computer software unless it is one of the well known values, ex Arccos(0.5)=60°, Arccos(-0.5)=120° etc

Partition a number line from 0 to 1 into sixth decompose 2/6 into 4 equal lengths.
Anon25 [30]
When we partition a number line from 0 to 1 into six, each segment has a length of 1/6 and the segments are:
1/6. 2/6. 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 , 6/6

Breaking 2/6 into 4 equal parts, we get each part equal to 1/12
