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

Mathematics
1 answer:
blagie [28]2 years ago

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!! :)

Simplify the answer
Andru [333]

Answer:

- 20 + 8i

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that i²  = - 1

Given

[(6i + 9) + (4i - 5)] × 2i ← evaluate the terms inside the square bracket

= ( 6i + 9 + 4i - 5 ) × 2i

= (10i + 4) × 2i ← multiply each term in the parenthesis by 2i

= 20i² + 8i

= 20(- 1) + 8i

= - 20 + 8i

Which is the solution of x=2+√x-2? <br>x=2 <br>x=3 <br>x=2 or x=3 <br>no solution​
erik [133]
No Solution
x=2+ Square root of x-2
-2
x-2= Square root of x-2
2s cancel out.
x = Square root of x
Or you can just graph it and see no solutions
