Find the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)

1 answer:

4 0

(3,-4)(5,1)
slope = (1 - (-4) / (5 - 3) = (1 + 4) / 2 = 5/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/2
use either of ur points (5,1)...x = 5 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 5/2(5) + b
1 = 25/2 + b
1 - 25/2 = b
2/2 - 25/2 = b
-23/2 = b

so ur equation is y = 5/2x - 23/2...but we need it in standard form

y = 5/2x - 23/2...subtract 5/2x from both sides
-5/2x + y = -23/2....multiply everything by -2
5x - 2y = 23 <== standard form

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.
