Answer:

y = -x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

p1 (-3,4)

p2 ( 3, -2)

line equation y = mx + b

The slope m equals

$\frac{y2 - 21}{x2 - x1}$

$\frac{ - 2 - 4}{3 - - 3} = \frac{ - 6}{6} = - 1$

y = - x + b

from any point

-2 = -3 + b

b = 1

line equation = y = -x +1

Just plugging the points into the equations, both fit y=-x+1

Hope this helps

If ba-cd =b which expression represents "a"?A. b-cd/bB. b+cd/bC. b/b-cdD. b/b+cd

navik [9.2K]

Isolating the variable 'a' in the expression, we have:

$\begin{gathered} ba-cd=b \\ ba=b+cd \\ a=\frac{b+cd}{b} \end{gathered}$

So the correct option is B.

Identify the axis of symmetry of the given quadratic y= -3x^2 - 12

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$\frac{d}{dy}(-3x^{2} -12) = -6x$

0 = -6x

0 = x

$-3(0)^{2} -12 = -12$

(0,-12)

If the maximum acceleration that is tolerable for passengers in a subway train is 1.74 m/s2 and subway stations are located 930

Free_Kalibri [48]

Given that the subway stations are 930 m apart, the train have to be accerelated for half the distance and then decerelated for the rest of the distance.

Recall that the distance travelled by an object with an initial velocity, u, for a period of time, t, at an accereration, a, is given by
$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$

But, we assume that the train accelerates from rest, thus
$s=\frac{1}{2} at^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow465=\frac{1}{2}(1.74)t^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t^2=534.48 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{534.48}=23.12$

The maximum speed is attained at half the center of the distance between subway stations (i.e. at distance = 465 m).

Thus, maximum speed = distance / time = 465 / 23.12 = 20.11 m/s.
