4 1/2(2)=9. Multiply by 2 to get total
9- 3 1/2=z. Subtract 3 1/2 from total to get Z
5 1/2= Z

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$

Last step: substitute the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b.

$y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

That is the answer to this problem.

I hope this helps.

What is the quotient

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The quotient is 3x - 11 + 60/(x + 5) ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* We will use the long division to solve the problem

- The dividend is 3x² + 4x + 5

- The divisor is x + 5

- The quotient is the answer of the division

- If the divisor not a factor of a dividend, the quotient has

a remainder

* Lets solve the problem

- At first divide the first term in the dividend by the first term in

the divisor

∵ 3x² ÷ x = 3x

- Multiply the divisor by 3x

∴ 3x (x + 5) = 3x² + 15x

-Subtract this expression from the dividend

∴ 3x² + 4x + 5 - (3x² + 15x) = 3x² + 4x + 5 - 3x² - 15x = -11x + 5

- Divide the first term -11x in the new dividend by the first

term x in the divisor

∴ -11x ÷ x = -11

- Multiply the divisor by -11

∴ -11(x + 5) = -11x - 55

-Subtract this expression from the new dividend

∴ -11x + 5 - (-11x - 55) = -11x + 5 + 11x + 55 = 60

∴ The quotient is 3x - 11 with remainder = 60

* The quotient is 3x - 11 + 60/(x + 5)
