Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -7/8 and contains the point (-4, 9).

The equation of the line is y = -7/8x + 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the slope and a point to start, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Use the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1). Then solve for y.

y - 9 = -7/8(x + 4)

y - 9 = -7/8x - 7/2

y = -7/8x + 11/2

is there answer choices?

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).
