Answer:

y = -12x - 77

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of the equation is expressed as y = mx+b

m is the slope

Given the coordinate (-7, 7) and (-6, -5).

m = -5-7/-6+7

m = -12/1

m = -12

Get the intercept b

Substitute m= -12 and (-7 7) into y = mx+b

7 = -12(-7) + b

7 = 84 + b

b = 7 - 84

b = -77

Get the required equation

y = mx+b

y = -12x +(-77)

y = -12x - 77

This gives the required equation

If ON = MN, find MN.

Furkat [3]

Use Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]|ON|^2+|MN|^2=|OM|^2\\\\x^2+x^2=8^2\\\\2x^2=64\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x^2=32\to x=\sqrt{32}\\\\x=\sqrt{16\cdot2}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{x=4\sqrt2}

Answer: |MN| = 4√2.

Please help with the question above :)!!! ^^

(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect
