Question

Consider the line that passes through the points (-5, 9) and (-2, 0). Below are two different equations. Identify the true statement concerning both equations.
Equation #1 Equation #2
y - 9 = -1 third(x + 5) y - 9 = -3(x + 5)

Only equation #1 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Only equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Both equation #1 and equation #2 represent the line that passes through the two given points.

Neither equation #1 nor equation #2 represents the line that passes through the two given points.

Answer 1

some one can help me

Answer 2

The equation of the line that would pass through those two given points would have a slope of -1/3.

So only the first equation would apply.

Answer 3

But let me double check. Yep.

Answer 4

Do you want to see the step by step solution?

Answer 5

ok it better
and thank u

Answer 6

slope M= (9-0)/(-5-(-2))=9/-3=1/-3

Answer 7

Then the equation for that line would be: 1/-3=(y-9)/(x=7) cross multiply getting:
-x-5=3y-27 rearranging you have
3y-27=-x-5 dividing both sides by 3 you get:
y-9=-(1/3)(x+5) doesn't that look familiar? that is equation 1 and the first answer is correct.

Answer 8

oh ok I get it now thank for you're time

Answer 9

NP, good luck with your studies.
