What is the equation of the line that passes through (4, -1) and (-2, 3)?

Answer:

a

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, 3 )

m = \frac{3-(-1)}{-2-4} = \frac{3+1}{-6} = \frac{4}{-6} = - \frac{2}{3} , then

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (- 2, 3 ) , then

3 = \frac{4}{3} + c ⇒ c = 3 - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{5}{3}

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{5}{3} ← in slope- intercept form

multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions

3y = - 2x + 5 ( subtract - 2x + 5 from both sides )

2x + 3y - 5 = 0 ← in general form

Solve the following equation <br><br> 1/x-1+1/x+2=3
disa [49]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 3

-1 + 2 + 1/x + 1/x = 1 + 2/x:

1 + 2/x = 3

Bring 1 + 2/x together using the common denominator x:

(x + 2)/x = 3

Multiply both sides by x:

x + 2 = 3 x

Subtract 3 x + 2 from both sides:

-2 x = -2

Divide both sides by -2:

Answer:  x = 1
