Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (4, –1) and (2, –5).

Use slope formula, m = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction, to find the slope of a line that passes through the points.

y = 2 x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = difference of y / difference of x

m = (-5 - (-1)) / (2 - 4) = -4 / -2 = 2

pass point (4 , -1)

y = mx + b         b: y intercept

b = y - mx = -1 - 2 x 4 = -9

equation: y = 2 x - 9

correct answer is b. 27/8

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet
