ANSWER

y + 5= - \frac{9}{11} (x-3)

or

y - 4= - \frac{9}{11} (x + 8)

EXPLANATION

We want to find the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (3, −5) and (−8, 4).

The point-slope form is given by;

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where

m = \frac{4 - - 5}{ - 8 - 3} = \frac{4 + 5}{ - 11} = - \frac{9}{11}

is the slope of the line.

If

(x_1,y_1)=(3,-5)

The point-slope form is

y + 5= - \frac{9}{11} (x-3)

On the other hand, if
(x_1,y_1)=( - 8,4)

Then the point-slope form is,

y - 4= - \frac{9}{11} (x + 8)

These two equations are the same when simplified.

VWX\cong KLJ means that the triangles are congruent, that is exactly identical.

The order of letters is very important. Form the given congruence we can write the following ratio:

\frac{VW}{KL} = \frac{WX}{LJ} = \frac{VX}{KJ} =1

(notice that we do not mix the order: the first 2 letters of VWX are compared to the first 2 letters of KLJ and so on)

the ratio is one because the corresponding sides are equal.

\frac{VW}{KL}=1\\\\ \frac{2z-1}{z+2}=1\\\\2z-1=z+2\\\\2z-z=2+1\\\\z=3

|VW|=2z-1=2.3-1=6-1=5

Write an equation in slope intercept form that describes a line with a slope of 3 and containing the point (5,-1)
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>         y = 3x - 16</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of line with a given slope of a and containing a given point (x₀, y₀):

y - y₀ = a(x - x₀)

a = 3,  x₀ = 5,  y₀ = -1

So:

y - (-1) = 3(x - 5)  

y = 3x - 15 - 1

<u>y = 3x - 16</u>

Find f(x) and g(x) so that the function can be described as y = f(g(x)). y = 3/ square root of 3x + 4
Elis [28]
Well, your equation y=3/SQRT(3x+4) should be rationalized, but that's not what you want.

If f(x) = 3/SQRT(x+4) and g(x) = 3x

f(g(x)) then = 3/SQRT(3x+4), but rationalizing this = 3SQRT(3x+4)/(3x+4)

What numbers round up and down to 600
yaroslaw [1]
The numbers that round up to 600 and have one decimal place are-
599.5
599.6
599.7
599.8
599.9
The numbers that round down to 600 and have one decimal place are-
600.1
600.2
600.3
<span>600.4
As far as numbers with more than one decimal place that round to 600, there is an infinite number. For example, 600.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000</span>0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 rounds down to 600.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.
