Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-7,-5) and (4, -3).

y = (-2/9)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise over run so between (-7,-5) and (4,-3) it goes up -2 and over 9 so -2/9. Put this next to x and boom you have the slope equation.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
