We're told (5,-2) is on the line, that's x=5, y=-2
First one y-5 = -7, (x+2)/3=7/3, not equal
Second one y+5=3, (x-2)/3=1, not equal
Third one y+2=0, (x-5)/3=0, TRUE, equal
Fourth one, y-2=-4 (5+5)/3=10/3, not equal
Answer: third choice y+2 = (1/3)(x+5)
Answer: 45cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The spring stretches 1/3 of the weight attached. 1/3 of 15 is 5. However, the spring is already 40cm long so we must add 5 to 40 to find the total length and of the spring.
