Answer:

y + 6 = 2/3 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Find the slope

m = slope

m = change in y/change in x

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

points: (2, -6) & (8, -2)

m = (-2 - -6)/(8 - 2)

m = 4/6

m = 2/3

Step 2. Create the point-slope equation by using the slope and the first point

Point-slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where m = slope and (x1, y1) = first point

Point-slope form: y + 6 = 2/3 (x - 2)

Which ordered pair does NOT lie on the graph of h(x)=-2x + 7

goblinko [34]

Answer: A (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To know which oredered pairs does not lie on the graph, you must substitute the x-coordinate of each one of thm into the function and if you obtain the y-coordinate shown in that ordered pair, then that point lies on the graph.

2. Therefore, you have:

A. x=-2

$h(x)=-2(-2)+7=11$ (It does not lie on the graph).
