Use the work shown below to write the equation for a line that passes through the points (−5, 0) and (−1, −8). 1. Use slope formula to find slope:

m = StartFraction negative 8 minus 0 Over negative 1 minus (negative 5) EndFraction = StartFraction negative 8 Over 4 EndFraction = negative 2

2. Substitute one point and slope into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept:

0 = negative 2 (negative 5) + b. 0 = 10 + b. b = negative 10.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew

both equations and proportions are better.

nope.   happens to me as well.
