Answer: the integers are 6 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the integers.

Let y represent the other integer.

The product of the integers is 138. This means that

xy = 138 - - - - - - - - - -1

One of the integers is seven less than five times the other integer. This means that

x = 5y - 7

Substituting x = 5y - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

y(5y - 7) = 138

5y² - 7y = 138

5y² - 7y - 138 = 0

5y² + 23y - 30y - 138 = 0

y(5y + 23) - 6(5y + 23)

y - 6 = 0 or 5y + 23 = 0

y = 6 or y = - 23/5

The only possible value of y is 6

x = 138/y = 138/6

x = 23

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,1) and has a gradient of -3. Leave your answer in the form y = m x

Bingel [31]

Answer:

$y = (-3)\, x + 10$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that the equation should be in the slope-intercept form $y = m \, x + c$ . The $m$ and $c$ in this equation are constants. In particular:

$m\!$ would represent the slope of this line (also known as the gradient of this line,) whereas
$c$ would be the $y$ -intercept of this line.

The question states that the slope of this line is $(-3)$ . Therefore, $m = -3$ . Thus, the equation for this line should be in the form $y = (-3)\, x + c$ .

The value of constant $c$ could be found using the other piece of information: the point $(3,\, 1)$ is in this line. In other words, the solution $\text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$}$ should satisfy the equation $y = (-3)\, x + c$ .

Substitute $\text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$}$ into the equation $y = (-3)\, x + c$ and solve for $c$ :

$1 = (-3) \times 3 + c$ .

$1 = -9 + c$ .

$c = 10$ .

Hence, $y = (-3) \, x + 10$ would be the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line.
