Slope intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y intercept.

The easiest way to solve this problem is by using another equation for a line, also known as point slope form. This equation is best to use for a line if you have  a point and slope of the line, but do not have the y-intercept.

We need to find the slope of this line passing through the pair of points (-1, 3) and (2, -5). We can do this by using the slope formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Substitute in the appropriate coordinates.

\frac{-5-3}{2-(-1)} = \frac{-8}{3}, so the slope of the line is -8/3.

Point slope form of a line is y-y_1=m(x-x_1). Substitute -8/3 for m, and use the point coordinate (-1, 3) for y1 and x1. You could use either point coordinate but I chose to use this one.

y-3= -8/3[x-(-1)]

Distribute -8/3 inside the parentheses.

y-3= -8/3x - 8/3

Add 3 to both sides.

y = -8/3x + 1/3 is your answer (slope intercept form).

Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Points (-1,3) and (2,-5)


M= -5-3/2-(-1)


M= -8/3


M= -8/3


Slope is -8/3


Now fill in the formula equation of a line using one if the points and slope to find b .


(2,-5) and slope -8/3


Y=mx+b


-5=-8/3(2)+b


-5=-16/3+b

-5+16/3=b

1/3=b


Now put all together


Y= -8/3x+1/3

Can someone plz help me no links plz I beg u I’m confused I would really appreciate it
Ghella [55]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum amount of weight the truck can carry is 1600lbs. You do not want to exceed 1600lbs, but you can reach 1600lbs. This makes the inequality symbol ≤. This symbol says that the weight load has to be less than 1600lbs, but It can equal 1600lbs. You know that the piano is 400lbs and each box is 50lbs. Since you want to figure out how many boxes you can put on the truck alongside the piano, you can use the inequality: 50x + 400 ≤ 1600.

50 represents pounds per/box

x represents the number of boxes you can hold

400 represents the weight of the piano

1600 represents the max weight.

Apply the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution to the following system.wing system.
jarptica [38.1K]
  • y''-y'+y=\sin x

The corresponding homogeneous ODE has characteristic equation r^2-r+1=0 with roots at r=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt3}2, thus admitting the characteristic solution

y_c=C_1e^x\cos\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+C_2e^x\sin\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x

For the particular solution, assume one of the form

y_p=a\sin x+b\cos x

{y_p}'=a\cos x-b\sin x

{y_p}''=-a\sin x-b\cos x

Substituting into the ODE gives

(-a\sin x-b\cos x)-(a\cos x-b\sin x)+(a\sin x+b\cos x)=\sin x

-b\cos x+a\sin x=\sin x

\implies a=1,b=0

Then the general solution to this ODE is

\boxed{y(x)=C_1e^x\cos\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+C_2e^x\sin\dfrac{\sqrt3}2x+\sin x}

  • y''-3y'+2y=e^x\sin x

\implies r^2-3r+2=(r-1)(r-2)=0\implies r=1,r=2

\implies y_c=C_1e^x+C_2e^{2x}

Assume a solution of the form

y_p=e^x(a\sin x+b\cos x)

{y_p}'=e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)

{y_p}''=2e^x(a\cos x-b\sin x)

Substituting into the ODE gives

2e^x(a\cos x-b\sin x)-3e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)+2e^x(a\sin x+b\cos x)=e^x\sin x

-e^x((a+b)\cos x+(a-b)\sin x)=e^x\sin x

\implies\begin{cases}-a-b=0\\-a+b=1\end{cases}\implies a=-\dfrac12,b=\dfrac12

so the solution is

\boxed{y(x)=C_1e^x+C_2e^{2x}-\dfrac{e^x}2(\sin x-\cos x)}

  • y''+y=x\cos(2x)

r^2+1=0\implies r=\pm i

\implies y_c=C_1\cos x+C_2\sin x

Assume a solution of the form

y_p=(ax+b)\cos(2x)+(cx+d)\sin(2x)

{y_p}''=-4(ax+b-c)\cos(2x)-4(cx+a+d)\sin(2x)

Substituting into the ODE gives

(-4(ax+b-c)\cos(2x)-4(cx+a+d)\sin(2x))+((ax+b)\cos(2x)+(cx+d)\sin(2x))=x\cos(2x)

-(3ax+3b-4c)\cos(2x)-(3cx+3d+4a)\sin(2x)=x\cos(2x)

\implies\begin{cases}-3a=1\\-3b+4c=0\\-3c=0\\-4a-3d=0\end{cases}\implies a=-\dfrac13,b=c=0,d=\dfrac49

so the solution is

\boxed{y(x)=C_1\cos x+C_2\sin x-\dfrac13x\cos(2x)+\dfrac49\sin(2x)}

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Yes, the scale factor is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you times the length, 3, and the width, 5, by 4, you'll get 12 as your length and 20 as your width.
