y=kx+b
for (7,-8): -8=7k+b. (function 1)
for (-4,6): 6=-4k+b (function 2)
Use function 2 - function 1
we get: 14=-11k
k=-14/11------>slope is -14/11
Now we know that first two options are wrong since they have the wrong slope for the function.
Plus -14/11 back to function 1/ or 2. Both are correct and can give you the answer. In this case I would plug it back to function 2.
6=14*4/11+b
b=66/11-56/11
b=10/11
We get y=-14/11x+10/11
subtract both side by 6.
y-6=-14/11x+10/11-66/11
y-6=-14/11x-56/11
y-6=-14/11(x+4)
So C is correct
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula
m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
= ( 20-6)/(-6- -4)
= ( 20-6)/ ( -6+4)
= 14/-2
= -7
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points J (1,-10) and K (7, 2)
From the section formula

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is obtained using the formula:

The y-coordinates of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to K into a ratio of 5:1 is 0.
Answer:
Y= -6x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=mx + b
M is your slope
B is your y intercept
Answer:
45 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use ratios:

x = 540 inches
divide by 12 to get 45 feet
