Answer:

y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope-intercept form for any line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

now, let's calculate the slope:

1-2/7-8= -1/-1 = 1

here is the equation we currently have solved: y = x + b

now we have to solve for the y-intercept. to do this, we substitute one of the given points into the equation, and solve for b.

let's use (8, 2). in this ordered pair, the 8 is the x, and the 2 is the y.

2= 8 +b

2 -8=b

b=-6

and now we have our final equation!

y = x - 6

hope this helped! please let me know if you are confused about anything i did

What is the capacity of the cube in milliliters?
Murljashka [212]
The answer is:  [C]:  " 125 mL " .
________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
Volume of cube = 5 cm * 5 cm * 5 cm =  5³ cm³ ;

                          = (5 * 5 * 5) cm³  ;

                          =  125 cm³ .
______________________________________________________
              1 cm³ = 1 mL (exact conversion) ;  so, 125 cm³  =  125 mL  ;
                                                       which is:  Answer choice:  [C].

8. Solve this system of equations
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

A) x = − 1, y = 2, z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − 2y + 3z = 1

x + 3y − 4z = −7

3x + y +2z = 5

Lets eliminate x by multiplying the second equation by -4

4x − 2y + 3z = 1

-4x - 12y + 16z = 28

-----------------------------

-14y +19z = 29

Lets eliminate x by multiplying the second equation by -3

-3x + -9y +12z = 21

3x + y +2z = 5

---------------------------

          -8y +14z  =26

We now have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

-14y +19z = 29

-8y +14z = 26  Divide this by 2   = -4y +7z = 13

Multiplying the first equation by 4 and the second by -14

-56y +76z =116

56y -98z = -182

----------------------------

-22z =-66

Divide each side by -22

-22z/-22 = -66/-22

z=3

Now we need to find y

-14y +19z = 29

-14y +19(3) =29

-14y+ 57 = 29

-14y =29-57

-14y =-28

y =2

Now we need to find x

x + 3y − 4z = −7

x + 3(2) -4(3) =-7

x+6 -12 =-7

x-6 = -7

x = -1
