Answer:
Distance: 8.5440037453175
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance: 8.5440037453175
Steps:
Distance (d) = √(-7 - -10)2 + (-1 - -9)2
= √(3)2 + (8)2
= √73
= 8.5440037453175
Slope and Angle:
ΔX = -7 – -10 = 3
ΔY = -1 – -9 = 8
Slope (m) =
ΔY
ΔX
=
8
3
= 2.6666666666667
θ =
arctan( ΔY )
ΔX
= 69.443954780417°
Equation of the line:
y = 2.6666666666667x + 17.666666666667
or
y =
8 x
3
+ 53
3
When x=0, y = 17.666666666667
When y=0, x = -6.625

Question is using standard formula ax+by=c to find the slope by converting into slope intercept form y=mx+b
so we also need to convert ax+by=c into y=mx+b as shown below:
divide both sides by
Now compare it with y=mx+b, we get
So using values of a and b, we can find the slope
compare given equation -5x+2y=15 with ax+by=c, we get:
a=-5, b=2
Now plug both into above formula
Now matching these details with given choices we find that THIRD choice is the final answer.
