Choose the equation that represents the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has a slope of -5
y=-5x + 2
y=-5x6
y=-5x - 4
y=-5x + 16

y=-5x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

we know equation of the line:

y=mx+b

m=slope=-5

point (2,6) where x=2 and y=6

so in y=mx+b  we found "b"

6=-5(2)+b

6=-10+b

6+10=b

16=b

finally we have

y=-5x+16

Step-to-step explanation:

We know that the equation of a line that passes through point (a,b) with slope 'm' is given by :-

Given : Point =  (2,6)   and  slope = -5

Then, the equation of a line that passes through point (2,6) with slope '-5' is given by :-

Hence, the equation of a line that passes through point (2,6) with slope '-5' will be .

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
