What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -2) and (6, 1)?

Answer:

y=\frac{3}{2}x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line contains the points (4, -2) and (6, 1)

We want to write the equation of the line that contains these points

There are a couple of ways to write the equation of the line, but the most common way is slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

First, we need to find the slope of the line

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula \frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

Let's first label the values of the points to avoid any confusion and mistakes before calculating:

x_1 =4\\y_1=-2\\x_2=6\\y_2=1

Now substitute into the formula

m=\frac{y_2- y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1--2}{6-4}

m=\frac{1+2}{6-4}

Simplify

m=\frac{3}{2}

The slope is 3/2

We can substitute this as m in our line.
Here is our line so far:

y = 3/2x + b

Now we need to solve for b

As the line passes through both (4, -2) and (6, 1), we can use either one of them to help solve for b.

Taking (4, -2) for example:

-2 = 3/2(4) + b

Multiply

-2 = 6 + b

Subtract 6 from both sides

-8 = b

Substitute into the equation

y = 3/2x - 8

Prove each of these identities.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Identity (a) can be re-written as

sec x\ cosec x  - cot x = tan x

which we already proven in another question, while for idenity (b)

(A)\frac 1 {sin x} -sin x = cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x}\\\\(B)\frac {1-sin^2x}{sin x} = \frac {cos^2x} {sin x} \\\\(C) \frac {cos^2x}{sin x} =\frac {cos^2x} {sin x}

step A is simply expressing each function in terms of sine and cosine.

step B is adding the terms on the LHS while multiplying the one on RHS.

step C is replacing the term on the numerator with the equivalent from the pithagorean identity cos^2x  + sin^2x = 1

Sarah bought a binder for $7.25 and six folders that totaled $9.05 how much did each folder cost
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Each binder costs 30 cents or $0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sarah's total was $9.05 and the binder costs 7.25 then in order to find the price of the folders you must subtract the cost of the binder (7.25) from the total (9.05) which leaves $1.80 as the amount she paid in total for 6 folders. Next, to find the amount spent per folder divide 1.80 by the number of folders which is 6 and your final answer should be 0.30.

9.25= 7.25+6x (next subtract 7.25 on both sides)

1.80=6x (next divide by six on both sides)

0.30=x

11.1.30<br> How many three-digit even numbers are possible if the leftmost digit cannot be zero?
Ann [662]

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

We need to determine the  number of 3 digit numbers which is even and the leftmost digit is not zero .

The  3 digits with left most digit not equal to zero starts from 100 and goes up to 998

If we consider only the even 3 digit numbers in this interval, this would form an arithmetic progression with the first number a = 100 and the common difference d = 2.

Step 2:

The last number l  in this series is 998 .

So we have

a = 100

l = 998

d = 2

The nth term in the arithmetic progression is given by a + (n-1) d

so substituting the above values we get

100 + (n-1) 2 = 998

2n = 900  => n = 450

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450
