If the whole line is JL, then JK+KL=JL
JK:5x+8
KL:4x+4
5x+8+4x+4=84
Get all like terms on one side
5x+8+4x+4=84
-8 -4
5x+4x= 72
9x=72
x=8
Plug it into the equation
5(8)+ 8= 48
4(8)+4= 36
———————
84
So x=8
JK=48
KL=36

Find the equation of a line that passes through these two points

Sati [7]

Answer:

y = -2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y = mx + b.

First we want to find m, the slope. We can used the coordinates to do so: $m = \frac{6-(-4)}{-2-3}\\m = \frac{10}{-5}\\m = -2$

Now we know that the equation is y = -2x + b. We can plug in the coordinate (3, -4) to find b.

$y = -2x + b\\-4 = -2(3) + b\\-4 = -6 + b\\b = 2$

So the equation is y = -2x + 2.

Helpp me in geometry please

Hi there !

You have a formule. You just have to apply it.

Let's do it then !

First of all, you must write the coordinates of the point E and F.

Therefore :

$E(-2;-4)$
$F(2;2)$

So here, we have :

$x_{1} =-2$
$y_{1} =-4$

$x_{2} =2$
$y_{2} =2$

Now, Let's apply the formula :

$M((-2+2)/2 ; (-4+2)/2)$
$M(0;-1)$

In short, the answer would be : B) $(0;-1)$ .

Hope this helps !

Answer:

y= -0.25x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = mx + b \\ \\ m = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{ - 1}{4} \\ \\ b = where \: the \: line \: hits \: y \: axis = 2 \\ \\ y = - \frac{1}{4} x + 2$
