Answer:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from the 1st point to the first, we see that x (the 'run') increases by 5 from -4 to 1, and y (the 'rise') decreases by 8. Thus, the slope of the line through these two points is m = rise / run = -8/5
Now we have two points on the line, plus the slope. Let's write out the point-slope formula for the equation of a straight line:
y - k = m(x - h), where (h, k) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.
Here, using the point (1, -6), we obtain:
y + 6 = (-8/5)(x - 1) in point-slope form
Answer:
y= -3x + 150
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = -15/5
y-int = 150
Answer:
x=2
x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to get everything on one side to have a quadratic equation:
x^2+6x-4 -(3x+6) = x^2+3x-10
All factors of 10 are 1*10 and 2*5.
5-2 = 3 and 5*-2 = -10
Factoring x^2+3x-10 gives us (x-2)(x+5)
x=2
x=-5
If the polygons are similar, then the top side is equal to one half of the left side.
Since side (x -1) = 8, then x = 9.
