Points (-2, 4) and (-1, 1) lie on the same line. Which of the following equations represents the line

y = -3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates  (-2, 4) and (-1, 1), we are to find the equation of a line passing through the points.

The standard form of the equation is expressed as;

y = mx+c

m is the slope

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 1-4/-1+2

m = -3/1

m = -3

get the y-intercept c;

Substitute m = -3 and any point say (-1,1) into the equation y = mx+c

1 = -3(-1) + c

1 = 3 + c

c = 1-3

c = -2

Get the required equation;

y = mx+c

y = -3x + (-2)

y = -3x - 2

m∠cdf = 43° , m∠gdf = 114°, m∠gde = 23°, m∠edh = 23° , m∠cdh = 157°

step-by-step explanation:

since, it is given that de bisects the angle gdh ⇒ de divides the angle gdh into two equal angles.

⇒ m∠gde = m∠edh

⇒ 8·x   - 1 = 6·x + 5

⇒ x = 3

so, m∠gde = 8·x - 1 = 23°

and m∠edh = 23°

now, it is given ∠cde is an straight angle so, m∠cde = 180°

⇒ m∠cdf + m∠fdg + m∠gde = 180°

⇒ 43° + m∠fdg + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠fdg = 114°

again, m∠cde = m∠cdh + m∠edh = 180°

m∠cdh + 23° = 180°

⇒ m∠cdh = 157°
