Answer:
-9/14
Step-by-step explanation:
This is my simplest-
Do the keep-change-flip method for this problem (and also any problem involving this)
KEEP -3/8
CHANGE the division sign to multiplication
FLIP the last fraction. 7/12 to 12/7
Now solve the problem by multiplying the fractions
-3/8 × 12/7 =
-3 × 12 = -36
8 × 7 = 56
-36 / 56 =
Simplify it by dividing the numerator (up of the line) and denominator (below the line) to get -9/14
#1 = 1/3
#2 = 5/6
#3 = 8/9
#4 = 6/7
#5 = 15/20
Point slope is y-y1=m(x-x1)
Keep y and x as they are (do not plug anything in for those).
Variable m is the slope.
x1 and y1 are part of the point, which is in (x, y) form.
With the information given, plug each into the equation.
m= 2 (It's the slope)
x1=-8
y1=5
Put these variables into the equation like this-
y-5=2(x--8)
The two negatives cancel out (between x and 8) so your final answer is-
y-5=2(x+8)
