the equation of a line in point-slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b ) is a point on the line
y + 1 = 
(x + 5) is in this form
(a) with slope =
(b) point on the line = (- 5, - 1 ) = (a, b)
Answer:
If the kite has an 11 ft line attached to it and it casts an 8 feet shadow, we will have a rectangle triangle (see picture below).
To find the height x of the kite, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem.
x² = 11² - 8²
x² = 121 - 64
x² = 57
x =√57 Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y=-x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope of the line, you can use the slope formula. I did this with (-3,1) and (2,-4) to get: (1+4)/(-3-2). This ends up as -5/5, which simplifies to -1.
next I plugged in the slope and one point into the line equation: y=mx+b. I plugged in (-4)=(-1)(2)+b. This equated to b=-2.

The equation -4=(-1)(2)-2 is true
The equation 1=(-1)(-3)-2 is true
The answer is
2b + .75c = 34
Answer: (5+√2) and (3+√2)
Step-by-step explanation: Let (5+√2) and (3+√2) be two irrational numbers
Difference = (5+√2) - (3+√2)
Difference = 2
2 is a rational number
