Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1, –5) and (3, –17)?
A. y = -6x + 1
B. y = 6x + 1
C. y = -6x - 1
D. y = 6x - 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m rusty with my math, so I’m not 100% sure this is correct. My best attempt.

(1,-5) & (3,-17)

1=1x, -5=1y, 3=2x, -17=2y

Formula is y2-y1/x2-x1

-17 - -5 = -12

3 - 1 =2

So -12/2 = -6

Formula for the line is

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

In this equation m=-6

Y - -5 = -6 ( x - 1 )

282 6/7 cm^2

step-by-step explanation:

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
