The magnitude and direction of line UV is 19.7° South of West for 8.1 miles

<h3>How to find the magnitude of the vector line UV?</h3>

The magnitude of the vector line UV is given by the length of the line UV,

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] where

  • (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3) and
  • (x₂, y₂) = (-2, -4)

Substituting the values of the variables intot he equation, we have

d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

d = √[(-2 - 2)² + (-4 - 3)²]

d = √[(-4)² + (-7)²]

d = √[4² + 7²]

d = √[16 + 49]

d = √65

d = 8.06 miles

d ≅ 8.1 miles

So, the magnitude of vector line UV is 8.1 miles

<h3>How to find the direction of the vector line UV</h3>

The direction of the vector line UV is given by Ф = tan⁻¹[(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)] where

  • (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3) and
  • (x₂, y₂) = (-2, -4)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Ф = tan⁻¹[(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)]

Ф = tan⁻¹[(-4 - 3)/(-2 - 2)]

Ф = tan⁻¹[(-7)/(-4)]

Ф = tan⁻¹[7/4]

Ф = tan⁻¹[1.75]

Ф = 60.26°

Ф ≅ 60.3°

Its bearing from the north-south line is α = 90° - Ф

= 90° - 60.3°

= 19.7°

So, its direction is 19.7° South of West

So, the magnitude and direction of line UV is 19.7° South of West for 8.1 miles

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -4 and goes through (-2,7).
Anni [7]

Answer:

y = -4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is given as:

y = mx + b

Where

m is the slope

and

b is the y-intercept (y-axis cutting point)

Since we know slope is -4, we can write:

y= mx + b

y = -4x+ b

Given the point (-2,7) , we can say:

x = -2

and

y = 7

Plugging these 2 values, we can solve for b:

y = -4x + b

7 = -4(-2) + b

7 = 8 + b

b = 7 - 8

b = -1

Now, we have the equation:

y = -4x - 1
