Answer:

-13

Step-by-step explanation:

since x is positive, |x+8| becomes x+8. since x>5, 5-x is negative so |5-x| becomes x-5 (-(5-x)=-5+x=x-5). so now we have x-5-(x+8)=x-5-x-8=-5-8=-13

What equation in slope intercept form represents the line that passes through the two points?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$y = -9x +52$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x_1.y_1) = (5,7)\\$

$(x_2,y_2) = (6,-2)$

Required

Determine the equation in slope intercept form

First, we calculate the slope of the line:

$m = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{7 - (-2)}{5 - 6}$

$m = \frac{7 +2}{-1}$

$m = \frac{9}{-1}$

$m = -9$

Th equation is then calculated using:

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

This gives:

$y - 7 = -9(x - 5)$

Open bracket

$y - 7 = -9x +45$

Make y the subject

$y = -9x +45+7$

$y = -9x +52$

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of

Ierofanga [76]

Y = mx + b....subtract b from both sides
y - b = mx ....divide both sides by x
(y - b) / x = m
