Answer:

  2x -3y = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the differences between the given points, we have ...

  (Δx, Δy) = (4, 9) -(-2, 5) = (6, 4)

The equation of the line can be written ...

  Δy·x -Δx·y = Δy·(x1) -Δx·(y1) . . . . . for point (x1, y1) on the line

  4x -6y = 4(-2) -6(5) = -38

Dividing by 2 gives the standard form equation ...

  2x -3y = -19

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The original equation 4x-6y=-38 satisfies the requirements of this problem. However, "standard form" requires the numbers in the equation be mutually prime (in addition to the problem requirements). That is, they must have no common factors. Hence, we must remove the common factor of 2 in order to have true "standard form."

Why are there two sine ratios, two cosine rations, and two tangent ratios for any right triangle?
Marina86 [1]
You could take it from either of the non-right angles.
To one angle, which side is opposite and which is adjacent is different than to the other angle. This is also why sin(x) = cos(90-x) and cos(x) = sin(90-x).

There are 8 performers who will present their comedy acts this weekend at a comedy club. One of the performers insists on being
Korvikt [17]
This is a permutations problem. There are only 7 comics you can move into different time slots, the 8th one being fixed in that last position. So you can look at it this way:
For the 1st position, you can choose from all 7 people. Once you've picked that one, you have 6 people to choose from for the 2nd position, and similarly for the remaining ones . This gives you 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 5040 ways to arrange them. And the last comic stays in the same position all the time so does not change this number. Make sense? If you need to demonstrate it to yourself, use a smaller number of comics, like 3 or 4, and write out the combinations to see that it works.
