Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope

\frac{4-8}{-5-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{-2} \\\\slope=2\\y=mx+b\\y=2x+b\\

take a coordinate to fill in

(-5,4)\\y=-5\\x=4\\-5=2(4)+b\\-5=8+b-8   -8\\-13=b\\

this means that the equation is y=2x-13

and if you add m and b

you get :-11

Answer:

7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $A = (-3,8)$ and $B = (-5,4)$. The midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ is $\left( \frac{(-3) + (-5)}{2}, \frac{8 + 4}{2} \right) = (-4,6)$.

The slope of $\overline{AB}$ is $\frac{8 - 4}{(-3) - (-5)} = 2$, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AB}$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is given by

\[y - 6 = -\frac{1}{2} (x + 4).\]Isolating $y,$ we find

\[y = -\frac{1}{2} x + 4.\]

Use the method of elimination to determine whether the given linear system is consistent or inconsistent. If it is consistent, f
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

We will realize that in the 2nd & 3rd equation, the integer "x" is missing.

So, the correct equation should be:

4x - 2 + 6z = 0

x - y - z = 0

2x - y + 3z = 0

By rearrangement; if we switch equation (1) and (2)

x - y - z = 0      ----- (1)

4x - 2 + 6z = 0 ------ (2)

2x - y + 3z = 0  ------ (3)

If we multiply equation (1) and add that to  equation (2);

Then, we have:

x - y - z = 0

2y + 10z = 0

2x - y + 3z = 0

Also, if we multiply equation (1) by -2 and add that to equation (3), we have:

x - y - z = 0

2y + 10z = 0

y + 5z = 0

From above recent equation, if we swap equation (2) and (3);

x - y - z = 0

y + 5z = 0

2y + 10z = 0

Then, multiply equation (2) with -2, followed by adding it to equation(3);

Then:

x - y - z = 0

y + 5z = 0

0 = 0

Now, there exists no equation (3). Thus, let assume z = t to solve for x & y

y + 5z = 0

y = -5t

Similarly;

x - y - z = 0

x = -5t + t

x = -4t

Hence;

x = -4t; y = -5t; &  z = t

1. Which formula defines the sequence f(1)=2, f(2)= 6, f(3)= 10, f(4)= 14, f(5)= 18?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(1)=2\\ f(2)= 6\\ f(3)= 10\\ f(4)= 14\\ f(5)= 18

Required

Determine the formula

First, we need to solve common difference (d)

d = f(n) - f(n-1)

Take n as 2

d = f(2) - f(2-1)

d = 6 - 2

d = 4

Represent each function as a sum of the previous

f(1) = 2

f(2) = 2 + 4 = f(1) + 4

f(3) = 6 + 4 = f(2) + 4

f(4) = 10 + 4 = f(3) + 4

f(5) = 14 + 4 = f(4) + 4

Represent the function as f(n)

f(n) =f(n-1) + 4

Reorder

f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2

-3m-1&lt;-10 or -4+2m&lt;-14
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

m>3 or m<-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify -3m-1 < -10:

-3m < -9

m > 3 (switch direction of sign when dividing by negative number)

Then simplify -4+2m<-14:

2m<-10

m<-5

m>3 or m<-5
