Answer:

Equation of the line: y = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x_0,\, y_0) and (x_1,\, y_1) denote the coordinates of these two points, respectively.

Calculate the slope m of this line:

\displaystyle m = \frac{y_1 - y_0}{x_1 - x_0} = \frac{(-5) - (-5)}{8 - 0} = 0.

Notice that the slope is zero because the two points have the same y-coordinates (y_0 = y_1 = -5) even though their x-coordinates are distinct (x_0 \ne x_1.)

Equation for this line in point-slope form:

y - y_0 = m\, (x - x_0).

y - (-5) = 0\, (x - 0).

Rewrite and simplify to obtain the equation of this line in slope-intercept form:

y = -5.

The x-term was eliminated because the slope was zero.

When graphing the inequality y ≤ 2x − 4, the boundary line needs to be graphed first. Which graph correctly shows the boundary l
Volgvan

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The boundary line follows the graph of y = 2x - 4 because it represents the line of maximum or minimum values the graph could take. y = 2x - 4 has a y-intercept of -4 because it is in slope-intercept form. It also has a slope of 2, so to find another point on the line, you can go up two and right one. Also, this inequality has a solid line because it is "less than or equal to" and a solid line represents the values that equal.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (−10,−8) and (-8, -16) Write your answer in simplest form.
jarptica [38.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

point = ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 )

we know,

slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

x1 , y1 = (-10 , -8 )

x2 , y2 = ( -8, -16 )

after inserting the values we got,

→ -16 - (-8 ) / -8 - (-10)

→ -8/2 → -4

therefore, slope of line is -4.

hope this answer helps you dear...take care and may this answer helps you dear!.
