Find the equation of the line
passing through the points 1,-5)
and (9,11).
y = 2x + [?]

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like we already have the slope of this line:  It is 2.  Working with the point (1, -5), we have x = 1 and y = -5 and can from this info easily find the y-intercept, b:

y = mx + b becomes

y  = 2x + b, which in turn becomes

-5 = 2(1) + b, or

b = -7,

and so the desired equation is y = 2x - 7

care to share were the trapezoid shown is ?

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
