Answer:
y = - 2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2 )
m = =
= - 2 , then
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 2 ) , then
2 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 4 = 6
y = - 2x + 6 ← equation of line
Answer:
See attached image for the drawing of the first four trees (circled in green)
The patterns is:
x = 2+3n and y= 3+2n
Position of 7th tree is: (20,15) (circled in orange in the image)
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting at the location (2,3) the next x and y positions are given by:
x = 2+3n since the horizontal position needs to be increased by 3 units on each iteration,
and y= 3+2n since the vertical position needs to be increased by 2 units on each iteration
being n= 1 through 6 (to account for the next 6 trees that need to be planted)
With such pattern, the location of the seventh tree would be:
x = 2 + 3*6 =2 + 18 = 20
y = 3 + 2*6 = 3 + 12 = 15
That is, the point (20,15) on the plane.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the definition of an angle bisector, we have that .
We can add to both sides to get
.
We can then subtract from both sides to get
.
We can finally divide both sides by to get
