Answer:

y = -1/2x - 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-4 - (-5) / -3 - (-1)

1/ -2

= -1/2

y = -1/2x + b

-5 = -1/2(-1) + b

-5 = 1/2 + b

-11/2 = b

Q + 5/9= 1/6 from big ideas mathbook

Alika [10]

9We have such eqation
Q $+ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{1}{6}$ /*9 (multiply both sides by 9)
9Q+5= $\frac{9}{6}$ /-5 both sides
9Q= $\frac{9}{6}- 5$
9Q= $\frac{9}{6}- \frac{5*6}{6}$
9Q= $\frac{9-30}{6}$
9Q=- $\frac{21}{6}$ /:9 divide both sides by 9
Q=- $\frac{21}{6}:9$
Q $\frac{21}{6*9} =- \frac{21}{54}=[tex] \frac{7}{18}$ - its the answer

What is longer 180 seconds or 3 minutes

Neporo4naja [7]

They are both the same. There are 60 seconds in one minute, so 60*3 is 180. Since 180=180, they are equal.

What is the explicit rule for the sequence?<br><br><br><br> 12,6,0,−6, …

wolverine [178]

Hello!

First you find the common difference in the sequence

6 - 12 = -6
0 - 6 = -6

The common difference is -6

We can now make the equation

-6(n - 1) + 12

we got the 12 because it is the first number in the sequence

Simplify

-6n + 6 + 12

Simplify

18 - 6n

The answer is B) an = 18 - 6n

Hope this helps!
