<h2>Answer:    y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)  

                                       

                                          =  (- 7 - 8) ÷ ( 1 - (- 4))

                                         =    - 15  ÷  5

                                         =  - 3

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

        y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (1, -7)

             y - (-7) =  -3 ( x  -  1)

              y + 7  =  -3 (x - 1)

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;x=0\implies &(x)=0\\&#10;x=2\implies x-2=0\implies &(x-2)=0\\&#10;x=-5\implies x+5=0\implies &(x+5)=0&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;(x)(x-2)(x+5)=\textit{3rd degree polynomial}

Explain the difference between accuracy and precision
nata0808 [166]

Precision is more like consistency. Take a rifle range for example. Sure, all the shots may be off centered, but if they're tightly grouped together, it shows that the shooter had precision in their shooting. Accuracy is how close to spot on the attempts or shots generally are. They would end up more towards the center, but a little more spread out.
