Answer:

The student should subtract 8 from each side not add 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - -8 = -6(x -2)

y+8 = -6(x-2)

Distribute

y+8 = -6x+12

Subtract 8 from each side

y+8-8 = -6x+12-8

y = -6x+4

The student should subtract 8 from each side not add 8

Answer:

y -(-8) = -6(x - 2)

y -(-8) = -6x + 12

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8 (this step is incorrect as minus into minus is plus therefore when taking 8 to the right hand side we must subtract it from the left hand side

y = -6x + 20

the correct equation would be : y= -6x+4

Finding the Slope of a Line from a Table
lakkis [162]

Answer:

m = rise / run = 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the slope of a line is m = rise / run.

Here we look at x first (to calculate the run):  x begins at -7 and ends at 0. Thus, the run is 0 - (-7), or 7.  

Now look at how y behaves (find the rise):  y begins at 0 and ends at 1. Thus, the rise is 1.

Therefore the slope of the line connecting the two poings given is

m = rise / run = 1/7

The length of a rectangular board is 10 cm longer than its width. The width of the board is 26 cm. The board is cut into 9 equal
kvasek [131]
Each piece will be 26cm by 4cm.

Width is 26 cm.
Length is 36 cm. The problem states that the length is 10 cm longer than the width. Since width is 26 I just added 10 to arrive at 36 cm.

36 / 9 = 4 cm.

The width will still be 26 but the length is now 4 cm. 

Area = length * width
Area = 4 * 26
Area = 104 cm
