(-4,1) and (-8,7)

write an equation in slope-intercept form

y = -2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have our two points, (-4,-1) and (-8,7) What we need to do to find our slope is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. Once plugging in the numbers and subtracting it should give you 8/-4. 8 divided by -4 is -2. m = -2. Now to find our "b" we plug in our slope, and plug in one of the two points into the format of y = mx + b.

-1 = -2(-4) + b

multiply -2 and -4

-1 = 8 + b

we subtract 8 from itself and -1

-9 = b

Our equation is y = -2x - 9

step-by-step explanation:

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
