Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference".

so, let's find 2 good points (I mean by that with integer coordinates). I see e.g.

(-1, -1) and (0, -7)

x changes by +1 (from -1 to 0).

y changes by -6 (from -1 to -7).

so, the slope is -6/1 = -6.

D is the right answer.

Find an equation of the line through (2,7) and parallel to y=3x-6 Y=

Sliva [168]

As we know the formula to calculate the line of equation is y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where m is the slope. y1 is the first y co ordinate. x1 is the first x co ordinate.

Now we do know that the slope of parallel line is the same as the slope of the original line.

So parallel line slope is 3 so slope for our line is 3. Hence equation is y - 7 = 3 (x - 2) which becomes y = 3x + 1.

Which of these points are on a line that has a slope of -3?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Simple....

using the formula $\frac{ y_{1}- y_{2} }{ x_{1}- x_{2} }$ to find slope....

1.) (9,2)(4,3)

$\frac{2-3}{9-4}= -\frac{1}{5}$ (No)

2.) (9,2)(3,4)

$\frac{2-4}{9-3} = -\frac{2}{6} =- \frac{1}{3}$ (No)

3.) (2,9)(3,4)

$\frac{9-4}{2-3} = \frac{5}{-1} =-5$ (No)

4.) (2,9)(4,3)

$\frac{9-3}{2-4} = \frac{6}{-2} =-3$ (YES!)

Thus, your answer.

Whats longer 3 hours or 175 min.

Murrr4er [49]

3 hours is 1 hour longer than 175 minutes because 175 minutes is only 2 hours and 55 minutes so 3 hours is 5 minutes longer than 175 minutes
