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!! :)

What expressions are equivalent to q+p+q+p+q
Kipish [7]
You can resolve all of them.
so the first one would be 3q+2p
that second 2p+3q
the third 2p+2q+q which equals 2p+3q

they all end up as the same thing so both are equivalent

Estimate the sum or difference 8/9+4/7
Bogdan [553]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

To estimate the sum or difference of 8/9 + 4/7 it should be <span>1 1/2

</span>It is also a way to find<span> an approximate answer to a solution. To </span>estimate<span> products and quotients of mixed numbers, round the </span>fractions<span> to the nearest whole number. If the </span>fraction<span> is less than 12 round down and if it is more than 12 round up. First, since 411 is less than 12,8411 rounds down to 8.</span><span>

lord [1]

Answer:

0.59049

Step-by-step explanation:

Set of all digit strings of length 5

Digit range = (0 - 9) = 10

Length of digit = 5

Total possible outcomes = 10^5 = 100000

String without a 4 ;

Digit range = (0,1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9) = 9

Length of digit = 5

Required outcome = 9^5 = 59049

Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

59049 / 100000

= 0.59049
