Answer:

Slope = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7 , -2) ; x₁ = -7 and y₁ = -2

(-6 , 7) ; x₂ = -6 and y₂ = 7

Slope = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$=\frac{7-[-2]}{-6-[-7]}\\\\=\frac{7+2}{-6+7}\\\\=\frac{9}{1}\\\\= 9$

Answer:

$\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf{Mulitply by}\quad\dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x}:$

$\implies \dfrac{y^2}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+x} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x}{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x}$

$\implies \dfrac{y^2(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)}{(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+x)(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)}$

$\implies \dfrac{y^2(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)}{(\sqrt{x^2+y^2})^2-x^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{y^2(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)}{x^2+y^2-x^2}$

$\implies \dfrac{y^2(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)}{y^2}$

$\textsf{Cancel the common factor}\:y^2:$

$\implies \sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x$

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point negative 7 comma 21 and is parallel to the line y equals 1-sevent

Lena [83]

Answer: $y=-\frac{1}{7} x+22$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line to be parallel to another, it must have an equivalent slope. The equation, $y=-\frac{1}{7} x-56$ , is in slope-intercept form. Thus, the slope of both lines must be -1/7. Then, using the slope-intercept formula, plug in 7 for x and 21 for y to get:

$21=-\frac{1}{7} *7+b$

$21=-1+b$

$22=b$

Thus, the slope of the line is: $y=-\frac{1}{7} x+22$ .

Hope it helps :D
