The standard form of a line passing through the points (-1, -3) and (2, 1) is <u>4x - 3y = 5</u>.

The slope of the given line, m = (1 - (-3))/(2 - (-1)) = (1 + 3)/(2 + 1) = 4/3.

Computed using the formula for the slope of a line, m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁), when a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂).

The point intercept form of a line is <u>y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)</u> when the line passes through the point (x₁, y₁) and has the slope m.

Thus, the given line in the point intercept form can be written as:

y - 1 = (4/3)(x - 2).

The standard form of a line is ax + by = c.

To convert the point intercept form to the standard form, we do as follows:

y - 1 = (4/3)(x - 2),

or, 3(y - 1) = 3(4/3)(x - 2) {Multiplying both sides by 3},

or, 3y - 3 = 4x - 8 {Simplifying},

or, 8 - 3 = 4x - 3y {Rearranging},

or, 4x - 3y = 5 {Rearranging and simplifying}.

Thus, the standard form of a line passing through the points (-1, -3) and (2, 1) is <u>4x - 3y = 5</u>.

Which phrase describes a nonlinear function?
Lorico [155]
The only non-linear equation from your choices is the area of a circle as it is:

A=πr^2  and if you take the derivative of A you have:

dA/dr=2πr

So the rate of change changes as r changes, it is not constant thus the function has acceleration, so velocity changes.

This is in contrast to any linear equation which is of the form:

y=mx+b  now taking the derivative you see that:

dy/dx=m, now m is a constant value, which means that there is no acceleration and the velocity remains constant.

If ∠A and ∠B are complementary, find the value of x given that ∠A=3x-2 and ∠B=x+12
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

x=20 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

complementary means the angles equal 90 degrees

so ∠A+∠B=90 degrees

∠A=3x-2 and ∠B=x+12

so subsitute

(3x-2)+(x+12)=90

then solve for x

4x+10=90

4x=80

x=20 degrees is your answer
