Answer:
y = -2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
When two points are given, the equation of the line passing through the points is given by:
where: 
and 
are the two points passing through the line.
Here, 
and 
.
Substituting in the formula, we have:
⇒ 
⇒ y - 4 = -2x + 4
⇒ y = -2x + 8 is the required equation of the line.
The slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Points given = ( -10, -8) and ( -8, -16)
Slope = ?
( -10, -8 ) : x1 = -10 and y1 = -8
( -8, -16 ) : x2 = -8 and y2 = -16
We know,
slope = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Slope = -16 - ( -8) / -8 - (-10)
slope = -16 + 8 / -8 + 10
slope = -8 / 2
slope = -4
Therefore, slope of the line that passes through points ( -10, -8 ) and ( -8, -16 ) is -4.
Answer:
f(-1) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
See below for the synthetic division tableau. The remainder is 4, hence ...
f(-1) = 4
___
IMO, in this function it is far easier just to substitute -1 for x. Since the only terms are of even degree, the value of f(-1) is the sum of the coefficients:
f(-1) = -1 +1 +4
f(-1) = 4
Answer:
x = 5/39
, y = 539/39
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{y - 2.5 x = 13.5
12.25 x - y = -12.25
In the first equation, look to solve for y:
{y - 2.5 x = 13.5
12.25 x - y = -12.25
y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:
y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2
Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
12.25 x - y = -12.25
Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25
(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25
In the second equation, look to solve for x:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25
9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:
(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4
Add 27/2 to both sides:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
(39 x)/4 = 5/4
Multiply both sides by 4/39:
{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)
x = 5/39
Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:
{y = 539/39
x = 5/39

Answer: {x = 5/39
, y = 539/39
Answer:
(x,y,z) = (2,-2,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Three equations with three variables are given. Take two equations at a time to eliminate one variable.
x + y - z = -1 .....(1)
4x -3y + 2z = 16 .....(2)
2x - 2y - 3z = 5 ......(3)
Solve (1) and (3) to eliminate z.
To do that multiply (1) by 2 and add (1) and (2). We get:
4x - 5z = 3 ......(4)
Now, solve (2) and (3) and subtract them. We get:
2x + 13z = 17 ......(5)
Solve (4) and (5). Multiply (5) by 2 and subtract. We get:
z = 1
Substituting z = 1, in (4) we get: x = 2.
Now to find y, substitute values of x and y in (1).
⇒ x + y - z = -1 ⇒ 2 + y - 1 = -1
⇒ y = -2
∴ Values of (x, y, z) = (2, -2, 1).
