Which is an equation of the line that goes through the points ( 4, 1) and
1 answer:
Answer:
none of the above
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the points in the equations (none works in any equation), or you can plot the points and lines (see attached). <em>You will not find any of the offered answer choices goes through the given points</em>.
___
You can start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) that equation is ...
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1) +y1
Filling in the given points, we get ...
y = (3 -1)/(2 -4)·(x -4) +1
y = 2/(-2)(x -4) +1 . . . . . simplify a bit
y = -x +4 +1 . . . . . . . . . simplify more
y = -x +5 . . . . . . . . . . . slope-intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle (a triangle that has a ninety degree angle in it) the the square of the side opposite the right angle is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Therefore, we can use the information we are given to figure out the missing side:
