The​ point-slope form of the equation of a nonvertical line with slope, m, that passes through the point (x1,y1) is...?

Answer:

  b. y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a matter of definition. There are perhaps a dozen useful forms of equations for a line. Each has its own name (and use). Here are some of them.

  • slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
  • point-slope form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)
  • two-point form: y = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)(x -x1) +y1
  • intercept form: x/a +y/b = 1
  • standard form: ax +by = c
  • general form: ax +by +c = 0

Adding y1 to the point-slope form puts it in an alternate form that is useful for getting to slope-intercept form faster: y = m(x -x1) +y1. I use this when asked to write the equation of a line with given slope through a point, with the result in slope-intercept form.

a hot air balloon is at an altitude of 240 feet. the balloon descends at 30 feet per minute. what equation gives the altitude y,
Rina8888 [55]
To solve this problem you must follow the steps below:

1. The problem says that:

 - The<span> hot air balloon is at an altitude of 240 feet.
 - It descends at 30 feet per minute.

 2. Therefore, you have:

 x: the time in minutes.
 y: the altitute in feet.

 3. Keeping all this information on mind, you can write the following equation:

 y=240-30x

 4. Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:
</span>
 y=240-30x

(A3- 2a2) - ( 3a2- 4a3)
Tanzania [10]
If you would like to calculate (a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3), you can do this using the following steps:

(a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3) = a^3 - 2 * a^2 - 3 * a^2 + 4 * a^3 = 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2

The correct result would be 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2.

There is a strong positive linear correlation between rainfall and the number of oranges a tree produces. Does this mean that mo
8_murik_8 [283]
No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation. 

The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well.  It does not state what causes it.
