Answer:

y=mx+b

Step-by-step explanation:

b is wherever the line intersects the y axis.

m is the slope, rise/run. hope this helps! please mark brainliest!

Answer:

21.6 or 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have same angles. This means that they are proportion.

50/27 = 40/x

when you cross multiply to solve x, 50x = 1080

so x = 21.6

If you have to nearest whole number, it will be 22

#9. Solve: 8x + 5 = 3x + 15 X = 4 x = 2 x = 20/11 x = 20

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 5 = 3x + 15

8x - 3x + 5 = 3x - 3x + 15

5x + 5 = 15

5x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5

5x = 10

5x / 5 = 10 / 5

x = 2

What is the equation of a line passing through the points (-3, -2) and (2, 0)?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

point A = (-3, -2)
point B = (2, 0)

To write the equation of the line that passes through two points we have to write the points in slope intercept form.

Formula for slope intercept:

$y=mx+b$

M is equal to the slope of the two points, so first we need to fine the slope of the two points.

$(-3,-2)=(x1,y1)$
$(2,0)=(x2,y2)$

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{0--2}{2--3} =\frac{2}{5}$
$m=\frac{2}{5} =0.400$

$y=mx+b$
$y=-2$
$m=0.400$
$x=-3$
$-2=0.400(-3)+b$
$0.400\times-3=-1.20$
$-2+1.2=-0.800$
$b=-0.800$

$y=0.400x+-0.800$

Hope this helps.
