We want to calculate the line that passes through the points (-7,0) and (-3,-9). Recall that the equation of a line is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We can calculate first the slope and then find the value of b. To do so, recall that given points (a,b) and (c,d) the slope of the line that passes through them is given by the formula

m=\frac{(d\text{ -b)}}{(c\text{ -a)}}=\frac{b\text{ -d}}{a\text{ -c}}

so by taking a=-7, b=0, c=-3 and d=-9 we get

m=\frac{0\text{ - (-9)}}{\text{ -7 -( -3)}}=\frac{9}{\text{ -4}}=\text{ -}\frac{9}{4}

so our equation becomes

y=\text{ -}\frac{9}{4}x+b

so know we want this line to pass through the point (-7,0), so whenever x= -7 then y=0 so we have the equation

0=\text{ -}\frac{9}{4}(\text{ -7)+b}

or equivalently

0=\frac{63}{4}+b

so if we subtract 63/4 on both sides, we get

b=\text{ -}\frac{63}{4}

so our equation would be

y=\text{ -}\frac{9}{4}x\text{ -}\frac{63}{4}

Answer:

Is only if a Biconditional?

The general form (for goats, geometry or lunch) is: Hypothesis if and only if conclusion. Because the statement is biconditional (conditional in both directions), we can also write it this way, which is the converse statement: Conclusion if and only if hypothesis.

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm more than twice the width. The area of the rectangle is 65 square centimeters. Find the dimens
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

5 cm and 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the width of the rectangle.

Length = 3+2b

The area of the rectangle is 65 cm²

We need to find the dimensions of the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

65=(3+2b)b\\\\65=3b+2b^2\\\\3b+2b^2-65=0\\\\b=5\ cm,-6.5\ cm

Neglecting the negative value, the width of the rectangle is 5 cm.

Length = 3+2b

=3+2(5)

=3+10

=13 cm

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are 5 cm and 13 cm.
