To find the equation you would first need to find the slope. if you use the formula
y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 5-6/2+4 (plus four because minus a negative turns into positive). your slope (m) would be -1/6. Since you have a point and a slope you can you point slope form ( y-y1=m(x-x1) ) to find the equation. Using the first coordinate (-4,6) and the slope (-1/6) your point slope form would be y-6=-1/6(x+4). Now you simplify your equation down. Multiply the -1/6 into the parentheses, y-6=-1/6x - 2/3. After that just add the 6 to the -2/3 to get y by itself, y= -1/6x + 16/3.
Therefore y=-1/6x + 16/3 would be your equation

Hi there!

Answer:

=195x and x=195

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

Multiply by the numbers.

39*5=195

195/5=39

195/39=5

5*39=195

=195x and x=195

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos x+\sqrt{2}=-\cos x \\ 2\cos x = -\sqrt 2 \\ \cos x = -\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x = \pm \arccos\Big(-\dfrac{\sqrt 2}{2}\Big)+2k\pi,\quad x\in \mathbb{Z}\\ \Rightarrow x =\pm\dfrac{3\pi}{4}+2k\pi\\ \\ \\k = -1 \Rightarrow x < 0\\\\ k=0 \Rightarrow x 2\pi$
