If Q is the midpoint of PR, and PQ = 2x + 3 and QR = 3x– 2, find x, PQ, QR, and PR.

1 answer:

8 0

Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
2x+3=3x-2
2x+5=3x
x=5.

The point-slope form a line is y-y1 = m(x-x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line. true or false ?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ is point-slope form. The equation would contain a point from a line and the slope of the line.

$'m' - Slope\\(x_1,y_1)-Coordinate$

For example:

With a slope of 3 and a point of (2,4) the point slope equation would be:

$y-4=3(x-2)$

Factor the common factor out of each expression

Jet001 [13]

For #3:

The common factor here is 2p, because 2p is the greatest term that can get into both of the numbers:

So we write:

2p(-3p^4 - 5)

So when we distribute we get:

-6p^5 - 10p
