Answer:

O No

Explanation:

Given equation: y = 13x + 12

To check if (2, 8) is a solution of the given equation.

Substitute x and y value in equation and check if it is true.

$\rightarrow y = 13x+12$

(x, y) = (2, 8)

$\rightarrow 8 = 13(2)+12$

simplify

$\rightarrow 8 = 38$

This following statement is false and hence (2, 8) is not a solution.

Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form. The line through point (-3, 4) and perpendicular to a line that has sl

statuscvo [17]

To be perpendicular the product of the two slopes must equal -1.

2m/5=-1

2m=-5

m=-2.5

since y=mx+b we have so far

y=-2.5x+b, using point (-3,4) we can solve for b

4=-2.5(-3)+b

4=7.5+b

b=-3.5 so

y=-2.5x-3.5 We can multiply the whole equation by two so that the coefficients are integers...

2y=-5x-7 add 5x to both sides

5x-2y=-7

3. Two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle are (0, -a)

egoroff_w [7]

The third coordinate of the equilateral triangle is $(\sqrt3a,0)$ . Ir can be obtained by distance formula.

What is distance formula?

It gives the distance between two coordinates.

Distance formula is given by the following expression:

$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Consider the third cordinate is (x,0) and x is positive because it is on tight side on the x axis.

Now, since the triangle is equilateral hence, the distance of (x,0) from (0, -a) and (0, a) should be equal to distance between (0, -a) and (0, a).

Now, caculate the distance between (0,-a) and (0, a). $\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(-a-a)^2}=2a$
