What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (1,-7) and (-4,8)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
4 0

Equation of the line is 3x + y + 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given points are (1, -7) and (-4,8)

⇒ x1 = 1, x2 = -4, y1 = -7, y2 = 8

  • Step 2: Form equation for the line using (y-y1) = m(x-x1). Find slope m.

⇒ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) = (8 - -7)/(-4 - 1) = 15/-5 = -3

  • Step 3: Substitute the values and form the equation.

⇒ y - -7 = -3(x - 1)

⇒ y + 7 = -3x + 3

⇒ 3x + y + 4 = 0

How is multiplying and dividing numbers in scientific notation different from adding and subtracting numbers in scientific notat
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

multiple and divide are depending on the powers ( sometimes the numbers before the scientific n.)

If the power neg- , it's going down

like this 10^-5 = 1/10^5

If the power pos+ , it's the same idea but different in signs .

Adding and subtracting are depending on numbers ( If the scientific n. is the same number) .

for example:

3x10^5 + 4x10^5 = (3+4)x10^5 = 7x10^5

What letter is s in 8s=1/2
Tcecarenko [31]
We find the value for s here. 

8s = 1/2
8s =  \frac{1}{2} 
 \\ 
8s/8 = \frac{1}{2} /  \frac{8}{1} 



1/2 divided by 8/1 = 1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

s = 1/16
