Find the equation of the line passing through the points (2, -1) and (-6, -5)

Mathematics

Step 1: Find the slope

Point 1 = (2, -1)

Point 2 = (-6, -5)

m = (-5 - - 1) / (-6 - 2) = (-5 + 1) / (-6 - 2) = -4 / -8 = 1/2

m = 1/2

Step 2: Find the y-intercept

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

-m is the slope

-b is the y-intercept

---Plug in whichever point you want as well as the slope and solve for b

Point = (2, -1)

-1 = (1/2)(2) + b

-1 = 1 + b

b = -2

Step 3: Form the equation

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m = 1/2

b = -2

y = 1/2x - 2

Hope this helps!! :)

Make up any division equation thay has a solution of -2​

-10/5 or -8/4

You can make up an equation with the solution of -2 by multiplying -2 by any number ( for example -2 x 5 ) and then divide the result by the random factor you chose ( which would be 5 in this case )

Last time, one out of every 4 students in our class was absent. This time, after Jen came back, only one out of every 5 students
VMariaS [17]

Answer: There are 20 students and 4 students are not here today.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of students = 4

Let the number of students be 'x'.

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{4}

If the number of students = 5

Fraction of students absent = \dfrac{x}{5}

And Jen came back,

So, the fraction of student absent is also written as

\dfrac{x}{4}-1

According to question, it becomes,

\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x}{4}-1\\\\\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{x-4}{4}\\\\4x=5(x-4)\\\\4x=5x-20\\\\4x-5x=-20\\\\-x=-20\\\\x=20

Hence, there are 20 students in our school.

And number of students are not here today is \dfrac{20}{5}=4

The first, fourth and fifth ones are linear. 

The second, third and sixth are all nonlinear.

You can tell this by the fact that their lead exponents are not 1.
