To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
Answer:

The number that represents 8/9 to the nearest percent is .89
Answer:
the length of the hypotenuse must be 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle, so we can apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
6² + 8² = 10² so the length of the hypotenuse must be 10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to study the fuel consumption of each car, i.e the amount of mile per gallon the cars will consume
Step one:
given data:
First car
distance covered= 41 1/2 = 41.5miles
amount of gallons= 1 1/4= 1.25gal
the miles per gallons= 41.5/1.25=33.2 miles per gallon
Second car
distance covered= 21 3/5= 21.6miles
amount of gallons=4/5= 0.8gal
the miles per gallons= 21.6/0.8=27 miles per gallon
1. Therefore the unit rate of
the first car = 33.2 miles per gallon
the second car=27 miles per gallon
2. the first car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline
