Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation for a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

We can calculate the slope from the two given points, (6,-3) and (-6,-5).  Slope is Rise/Run, where Rise is the change in y and Run is the change in x.

From the two given points, starting at (-6,-5) and going to (6,-3):

Rise = (-3 - (-5)) = +2

Run = (6 - (-6)) = 12

Rise/Run (slope) = 2/12 or 1/6

The equation becomes y = (1/6)x + b

We can find b by enterieng either of the two given points and solving for b.  I'll pick (6,-3):

y = (1/6)x + b

-3 = (1/6)*(6) + b

-3 = 1 + b             [Now you can see why I chose (6,-3)]

b = -4

The equation is y = (1/6)x - 4

Check this with a DESMOS graph (attached).

For his job at the hardware store, Michael distributes 2,345 packages of screws into 5 equal groups for shipping. How many packa
drek231 [11]

\\
\text{Michael distrinutes  2345 packages of screws into 5 equal groups for shipping.}\\
\\
\text{we need to find the number of packages of screws in each group.}\\
\\
\text{so for this we use the unitary method.}\\
\\
\text{The number of packages of screws in 5 groups}=2345\\
\\
\text{so the number of packages of screws in 1 group}=\frac{2345}{5}\\
\\
=469

Hence the number of packages of screws in each shipping box is: 469

Hence option (B) is correct.

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the trian
Yuri [45]
Not sure, but the areas of a triangle is BH/2 so the dimensions should be 8 and 6 then 10.
8 x 6 = 48
48/2 = 24
Maybe that can help with the equation
