What is the equation of the line that passes

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the line for the two points.

Slope is Rise/Run.

For the two points (-8,-4) and (3,-10):

Rise (-10 - (-4)) = -6

Run (3 - ( -8)) = 11

The slope is Rise/Run or -(6/11)

The equation becomes y = -(6/11)x + b

Find b by entering either of the 2 points given. I'll use (3,-10):

y = -(6/11)x + b

-10 = -(6/11)(3) + b

b = -10 + (6/11)(3)

b = -10 +(18/11)

b = -(110/11) + (18/11)

b = -(92/11)

The equation becomes y = -(6/11)x - (92/11)

Georgia out found that 2 out of 25 apples had bruiseson them. based on this information, how many apples out of 100 would be exp

TEA [102]

We just need to extrapolate the information we have about 25 apples to 100, that is we need to find a number that multiplied by gives us 100, from this original fraction, hence, we have:
2 out of 25 = 2/25
if we multiply and divide a number or fraction by the same number we do not alter its value, so we need to convert the 25 into 100, and that can be done multiplying it by 4, like so:
(2/25)(4/4) = (2*4)/(25*4) = 8/100

So if we have 2 bruised apples out of 25, then we can expect to have 8 bruised apples out of 100

What is the slope-intercept form for (1,6) and (2,5)

patriot [66]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-6}{2-1}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-6=-1(x-1) \\\\\\ y-6=-x+1\implies y=-x+7$

Find the slope of the line that passes through (4, 6) and (1, 10).

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

given us,

(x1y1) = (4,6)

(x2y2)= (1,10)

here

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

= (10-6)/ (1-4)

= 4/ (-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4/ (-3)

8fsquare + 4f - 60 <br> its an math equation can anyone plz gimme the answer

hammer [34]

Answer:

f = -3 , 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8f² + 4f - 60 = 0

Divide the entire equation by 4

2f² + f - 15 = 0

Product = -30

Sum = 1

Factors = -5 , 6 {(-5)*6 = -30 and -5 +6 = 1}

2f² + f -15 = 0 {Rewrite the middle term using the factors}

2f² + 6f - 5f -15 = 0

2f(f + 3) - 5(f + 3) = 0

(f +3) (2f - 5) = 0

f +3 = 0 ; 2f -5 = 0

f = -3 ; 2f = 5

f = 5/2
