For this case we have the following equation:


y + 1 = 2 (x - 3)

That can be rewritten in the form y = mx + b

Where:


  • m is the slope of the line
  • b is the cut point

So, we have:


y + 1 = 2 (x - 3)\\y + 1 = 2x-6\\y = 2x-6-1\\y = 2x-7

Where:


m = 2 is the slope


b = -7 is the cut point


Carlota has the following points:


(-1, 3) and (2, 9)


To know if the line y = 2x-7 passes through these points, we must replace them in the equation and the equality must be fulfilled. So:


Point (-1, 3):


Substituting:


3 = 2 (-1) -7\\3 = -2-7

3 = -9 It's false, equality is not met. The point (-1, 3) does not go through the line.


The equation written by Carlota is erroneous, the procedure to follow is:


Given(x1, y1) = (- 1, 3) and(x2, y2) = (2, 9), we find the slope:


m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

m=\frac{(9-3)}{(2-(-1))}

m=\frac{6}{3}

m=2

We observe that the slope found by Carlota is the same. Let's see cut point "b". For this we substitute any of the points given in the equation:


y = 2x + b

Substituting (2,9) we have:


9 = 2 (2) + b\\9 = 4 + b\\b = 9-4\\b = 5

Thus, Carlota's error was at the cut-off point. The correct equation of the line that passes through the given points is y = 2x + 5

Answer:


The correct equation of the line that passes through the given points is y = 2x + 5

Carlota's mistake was at the cutoff point

Solve x 2 - 4x - 7 = 0 by completing the square. What are the solutions?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

x = 2±sqrt(11)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -4x - 7 =0

Add 7 to each side

x^2 -4x -7+7 =0+7

x^2 -4x =7

To complete the square take the coefficient of the x term and  divide by 2 and then square it.  Add it to both sides

-4 /2 = -2 then square

(-2)^2 = 4

Add 4 to both sides

x^2 -4x+4 =7+4

x^2 -4x+4 = 11

Factor the left side into (x-b/2)^2

(x-2)^2 =11

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) =±sqrt(11)

x-2 = ±sqrt(11)

Add to to each side

x-2+2 = 2±sqrt(11)

x = 2±sqrt(11)
