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)

Jack is 4 times as old as Lacy. 3 years from now the sum of their ages will be 71 . How old are they now?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3 years their ages will add up to 71 so you have to subtract 6 as there are two of them to get 65. Lacy's age is represented by x and since Jack is 4 times older his age is represented by 4x. So added together their age is 5x. So 5x=65. Then 65/5=13. So 13=x. So Lacy is 13 and Jack is 52 as 13x4 is 52.
