Answer:  The required equation of the line is y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the equation of the line that is parallel to the following line and passes through the point (-2, 4) :

5x+2y=12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given by

y=mx+c,

where m is the slope of the line.

From equation (i), we have

5x+2y=12\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=-5x+12\\\\\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x+6.

So, the slope of line (i) is given by

m=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the new line will be

m=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

Since the line passes through the point (-2, 4), so its equation will be

y-4=m(x-(-2))\\\\\\\Rightarrow  y-4=-\dfrac{5}{2}(x+2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y-4=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-5+4\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Thus, the required equation of the line is y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y,z) be the coordinates of the point lying on the needed plane. This point is equidistant from the points (-3, 5, -4) and (-5, 0, 4), so

d_1=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2+(z-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}\\ \\d_2=\sqrt{(x-(-5))^2+(y-0)^2+(z-4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\d_1=d_2\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2=(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2\\ \\x^2+6x+9+y^2-10y+25+z^2+8z+16=x^2+10x+25+y^2+z^2-8z+16\\ \\-4x-10y+16z+9=0\\ \\-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(−8,2) and (-11, 3)? Write your answer in simplest form.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 . So the answer would be -1/3 bc 3 - 2 = 1 and -11 - (-8) = -3.
