vitfil [10]2 years ago

Answer: y = 9x/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use slope formula to find the slope of a line that passes through two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂)

<h3>m = ∆y/∆x = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) </h3>

Given points are:

P(x₁ , y₁) = (0, 0)  origin

Q(x₂ , y₂) = (-4, -9)

Substituting these two known points in the slope formula, we have:

m = (-9-0)/(-4-0) = -9/-4 = 9/4  

Now we can use the point-slope formula to write the equation of a line given a point on the line and the slope of the line:  

m = 9/4 , given point P(x₁ , y₁) = (0, 0)  

Formula :

(y-y₁) = m(x-x₁)  

(y-0) = 9/4(x-0)  

<h3>y = 9x/4 </h3>

Answer: y = 9x/4

Y=1/2×-6 ×=-4 what is the solution to the system of equations
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

(-4, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the substitution method.  x = -4, so y = (1/2)x - 6 becomes:

y = (1/2)(-4) - 6, or y = -2 - 6, or y = -8.

The solution is (-4, -8).

I don't know what I am doing help please (C:
NeX [460]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The far right side of the triangle is 17 cm, which is the height.

The base would be 34 minus 17 because whole length of the rectangle is 34 and the triangle covers all but 17 of it.

So then you would take 1/2 of 17.

Then multiply it by 17 to get 160.5
