Answer:

y-9=17(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we know</u>:

  • The line goes through the points (-8,-8) and (-7,9)
  • We need to write the equation of the line in point-slope form

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope of the line and (x_1,y_1) is a point that the line passes through
  • We're given "y-9=", which is the "y-y_1" part of the point-slope form equation. This means that (x_1,y_1) is (-7,9) and we only need to solve for m.

Our equation so far (plugging in the point (-7,9):

y-9=m(x-(-7))

y-9=m(x+7)

<u>Determine the slope (m)</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-8,-8) and (-7,9)

=\frac{-8-9}{-8-(-7)}\\=\frac{-8-9}{-8+7}\\=\frac{-17}{-1}\\= 17

Therefore, the slope of the line is 17. Plug this into y-9=m(x+7):

y-9=17(x+7)

I hope this helps!

Which number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square x^2-10x=7
mixer [17]

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

The number that needs to be added is the square of half the x-coefficient:

  (-10/2)^2 = 25

_____

Adding that gives ...

  (x -5)^2 = 32

  x = 5 ± 4√2

Can you guys distribute -9n-8-3n=6n-8 and figure out how many solutions it has plz
nydimaria [60]
First combine like terms (-9n-3n=-12n)
Then, subtract 6n on both sides (to get rid of the 6n) = -18n
Then, add 8 to both sides (does not matter) = 0
Finally divide (answer is 0)

Please help no links please
allsm [11]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The secant- tangent angle MLK is half the difference of the intercepted arcs, that is

\frac{1}{2} (KN - KM) = 70° ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

KN - KM = 140°

KN - 61° = 140° ( add 61° to both sides )

KN = 201° → C
