Not Rationally, No. But You Can Make It Into 26.5
Answer: 2/3
Explanation: the difference between -14 and -10 is 4 and in fractions x/y. so we have 4/y. the difference between -18 and -12 is 6 so we have 4/6 but we can simplify that to 2/3.
Slope = "rise over run" the difference in y values divided by the difference in x values
= 6/-3 = -2 = m. It's negative because as x increases, y decreases
plug that into the point slope formula, with either point. generally use the most simple point
y-h= m(x-k) where m= -2 and (k,h) = (2,-2)
y+2 = -2(x-2)
simply if you want
Y = -2x +4 -2 = -2x +2
or
2x +y = 2
Part 1) <span>Given the two points (-24,7) and (30,25) a. What is an equation passing through the points?
step 1
find the slope m
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)----></span>m=(25-7)/(30+24)----> m=18/54----> m=1/3
step 2
wit m=1/3 and the point (30,25)
find the equation of the line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)-----> y-25=(1/3)*(x-30)--->y=(1/3)*x-10+25
y=(1/3)*x+15
the answer Part 1) isy=(1/3)*x+15Part 2) <span>Is (51, 33) also on the same line?
</span>if the point (51.33) is on the line
y=(1/3)*x+15then
for x=51 the value of y must be 33
for x=51
y=(1/3)*51+15----> y=17+15----> y=32
32 is not 33
so
<span>the point does not belong to the given line
</span>
the answer Part 2) isthe point does not belong to the given line
