2/5 * 5/7 * 1/2 <== Group first pair of fractions to make
  multiplication easier

(2/5 * 5/7) * 1/2 <== Multiply fractions in parentheses, keeping in
  <span> (10/35) </span>   mind all rules of fraction multiplication (i.e.
(2/7)        cross-multiplying, etc.)

2/7 * 1/2 <== Multiply remaining fractions

1/7

The problem simplifies to 1/7.
Hope that helped =)

1. Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. (7, -3) and (4, -8)

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

1. $-5x+3y+44=0$

2. $2x+y-2=0$

3. $2x+y-4=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form of a line is $Ax+By+C=0$ .

If a line passing through two points then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where, m is slope, i.e., $m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ .

1.

The line passes through the points (7,-3) and (4,-8). So, the equation of line is

$y-(-3)=\dfrac{-8-(-3)}{4-7}(x-7)$

$y+3=\dfrac{-5}{-3}(x-7)$

$y+3=\dfrac{5}{3}(x-7)$

$3(y+3)=5(x-7)$

$3y+9=5x-35$

$-5x+3y+9+35=0$

$-5x+3y+44=0$

Therefore, the required equation is $-5x+3y+44=0$ .

2.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has a y-intercept of 2 and is parallel to $2 x + y =-5$ .

Slope of the line : $m=\dfrac{-\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}=\dfrac{-2}{1}=-2$

Slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (0,2).

Equation of line is

$y-2=-2(x-0)$

$y-2=-2x$

$2x+y-2=0$

Therefore, the required equation is $2x+y-2=0$ .

3.

We need to find the equation of the line, in standard form, that has an x-intercept of 2 and is parallel to $2x + y =-5$ .

From part 2, the slope of this line is -2. So, slope of required line is -2 and it passes through the point (2,0).

Equation of line is

$y-0=-2(x-2)$

$y=-2x+4$

$2x+y-4=0$

Therefore, the required equation is $2x+y-4=0$ .
