Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-8-7)/(4-(-1))

m=-15/(4+1)

m=-15/5

m=-3

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-7=-3(x-(-1))

y-7=-3(x+1)

y=-3x-3+7

y=-3x+4

If Shane’s average number of jumps completed is greater than one-half, then the

Norma-Jean [14]

Ok so, it all depends if Shane is likely to jump win over all of the other seventh graders then the eighth graders should earn the 50 points...

But if the roles are reversed the the Seventh graders should earn the 50 points.

There is not a full answer to what I am saying but from speculation you should be able to decide..

On a coordinate plane, a line has points (negative 2, negative 4) and (4, 2). Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line

NikAS [45]

Answer:

the correct options are:

(–1, 3), (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a line passes through two points

A(-2, -4) and B(4, 2)

Another point P(0, 4)

To find:

Which points lie on the line that passes through P and is parallel to line AB ?

Solution:

First of all, let us the find the equation of the line which is parallel to AB and passes through point P.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of a line is given as:

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

$m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{4-(-2)} = 1$

Now, using slope intercept form ( $y = mx+c$ ) of a line, we can write the equation of line parallel to AB:

$y =(1)x+c \Rightarrow y = x+c$

Now, putting the point P(0,4) to find c:

$4 = 0 +c \Rightarrow c = 4$

So, the equation is $\bold{y=x+4}$

So, the coordinates given in the options which have value of y coordinate equal to 4 greater than x coordinate will be true.

So, the correct options are:

(–1, 3), (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)
