What is the equation of the straight line that passes through (2,1) (5,7)

Mathematics
1 answer:
VMariaS [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of a straight line

Step 1: find the slope

( 2 , 1) ( 5 , 7)

x_1 = 2

y_1 = 1

x_2 = 5

y_2 = 7

Insert the values into the equation

m = (y_2 - y_1 )/ (x_2 - x _1)

m = (7 - 1 )/ (5 - 2)

m = 6/3

= 2

Step 2: substitute m into the equation

y = mx + c

y = 2x + c

Step 3 : sub any of the two points given into the equation

Let's use ( 2, 1)

x = 2

y = 1

y = 2x + c.

1 = 2(2) + c

1 = 4 + c

c = 1 - 4

c = -3

Step 4: sub c into the equation

y = 2x + c

y = 2x - 3

You would convert 17 1/4 to 17 4/16, and change 7/8 to 14/16. Then you would add those 2 numbers together to get 17 18/16 or simplified, 18 1/8.

What is the mode of the following set of data? 34, 23, 12, 11, 11, 25, 25, 26, 25, 27, 30
Olin [163]
1 - B

Mode - The mode the number that appears most often in a data set. In this question, 25 was repeated 3 times and no other ones where repeated 3 times. Thats why 25 is the mode.

2 - D

Median - The middle number of a data set that is arranged from least to greatest.

3 - True

There is no mode because all of the numbers only appear once.

4 - A

5 - C

3/4 -3/8 in simplest form?
solmaris [256]
3/4 and 3/8 have to have equal denominators, so multiply 3/4 by 2/2 because it's equal to one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction, but it makes the denominator (the number on the bottom) bigger. 
3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8
Now subtract.
6/8 - 3/8 = 3/8
Don't subtract the denominators. 
3/8 can't be simplified.
