Answer:
What is the point used in the equation of the line y+4=1/2(x-2)
The other format for straight-line equations is called the "point-slope" form. For this one, they give you a point (x1, y1) and a slope m, and have you plug it into this formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Don't let the subscripts scare you. They are just intended to indicate the point they give you. You have the generic "x" and generic "y" that are always in your equation, and then you have the specific x and y from the point they gave you; the specific x and y are what is subscripted in the formula. Here's how you use the point-slope formula
They've given me m = 4, x1 = -1, and y1 = -6. I'll plug these values into the point-slope form, and solve for "y=":
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-6) = (4)(x - (-1))
y + 6 = 4(x + 1)
y + 6 = 4x + 4
y = 4x + 4 - 6
y = 4x - 2
Answer:
(-3,-20)
Step-by-step explanation:
4 +8x = y ...... equation (1)
6x - y = 2 ........equation(2)
from equation 2
6x - y = 2
6x -(4+8x) =2
6x - 4 + 8x = 2
+4 +4
6x - 8x = 6
-2x=6
divide by -2
x= -3
put x in equation (1) to solve for y
4 + 8x = y
4+8(-3)=y
4-24=y
-20=y
y= -20
solution = (-3,-20)
Question: What value of c will complete the square below (
) and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Answer: c = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of 
.
To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.
Dividing by 
on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
Remember to include the positive and negative roots
(7x-2)^2=256
sqrt both sides
7x-2=+/-16
add 2 to both sides
7x=2+/-16
divdide both sides by 7
x=(2+/-16)/7)
x=(2+16)/7=18/7=2 and 4/7
x=(2-16)/7=-14/7=-2
x=2 and 4/7 or -2
Wow, what a coincidence, I just learned this at school today!
1. Slope
M= yb-ya/xb-xa
M= 8-4/8-6
M= 4/2
M= 2
2. Y-intercept
Y= mx + b
4 = (2)(6) + b
4 = 12 + b
4 = 12 + b
-12 = - 12 + b
-8 = b
Therefore, the equation is Y = 2x - 8
