Answer:

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Then

y = 0.6x + b

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

y = 0.6x + b

3 = 0.6*4 + b

2.4 + b = 3

b = 0.6

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Expand 3(x+ 2.3) <br> Expand 1/3(9x-12)
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

3x+6.9 and 3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

since 3 x x is 3x and the sign in the bracket is addition you place it there then place 3 x 2.3

being 6.9.

1/3 x 9is 9/3 and 3 can multiply both sides to get 3/1 or 3 then bring the minus and 1/3 x 12 is 12/3 3 can multiply both sides to get 4/1 or 4

What is the measure of &lt;R? ​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

<R=23°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

So, <R + <S + <T = 180°

<R+90°+67°=180°

<R+157°=180°

<R=23°
