Cross multiply:-

3(b - 2) = (2b - 5)(b + 2)

3b - 6 = 2b^2 + 4b - 5b - 10

2b^2 - 4b - 4 = 0

b^2 - 2b - 2 = 0

b = 2.73, -0.73  Answer

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -7) and (-8, 3)?
avanturin [10]

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

m = \frac{(3)-(-7)}{(-8)-(0)}\\m = \frac{3+7}{-8-0} \\m = \frac{10}{-8} \\m = -\frac{5}{4}

So, the slope is -\frac{5}{4}.

2) Now, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the m, x_1, and y_1 in the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{4} in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:

y-(-7) = -\frac{5}{4} (x-(0))\\y + 7 = -\frac{5}{4} x\\y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7

A right triangle has a side with length 12 in and a hypotenuse with length 20 in. find the length of the missing leg. (round to
OLEGan [10]
Let the unknown side be "z" inches
Through pythagoras:
{12}^{2}  +  {z}^{2}  =  {20}^{2}
Because the square of the two sides add up to the square of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.

This means that
{z }^{2}  = {20}^{2}  -  {12}^{2}
{z}^{2}  = 400 - 144 = 256
z =  \sqrt{256}  = 16
So the missing side is 16 inches

Hope this helped
