Ok so the first step is to -1 from both sides. On the right side it cancels out and on the left side it = -16. So now your left with -16= 8x. Your still not done yet though. So now what you want to do is divide both sides by 8. On the right side it cancels out and you bring down x and on the left side it equals -2. So x=-2. So to verify it you have to plu -2 back into the equation. So -15= 8 Times -2 +1 so 8 Times -2 = -16 plus one is -15. Hoped that helped!!

Write an equation of a line that passes through the points (1, 7) and (5, 19) . Give the final form in slope intercept form. (Pl
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

y = 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2 -y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 = 19

y1 = 7

x2 = 5

x1 = 1

Slope = (19 - 7)/(5 - 1)

slope = 12 / 4

slope = 3

So far what you have is

y = 3x + b                      To solve for b, use either of the two points.

x = 1

y = 7

7 = 3(1) + b

7 = 3 + b

b = 4

The final equation is

y = 3x + 4                    

We should check that with the other  point

x = 5                  Find y

y = 3(5) + 4

y = 15 + 4

y = 19              Ans it checks.

In equilateral triangle RST, R has coordinates (0, 0) and T has coordinates of (2a, 0). Find the coordinates of S in terms of a.
FromTheMoon [43]
The x  coordinate of S will be 1/2 * 2a = a.
and since  the half triangle is 30-60-90 the y coordinate will be sqrt3 a

so S  is (a , sqrt3a)
