Write the equation of the line shown in point-slope form. (2,1) (3,8)
Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u>

The line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Two points are A(2, 1) and B(3, 8).

To find:

The line equation that passes through the given two points.

Solution:

We know that, general equation of a line passing through two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) in point slope form is given by

\frac{(y- y1)}{(x-x_1)}= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}

{(y- y1)= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}\times(x-x_1)..........(1)

here, in our problem x1 = 3, y1 = 8, x2 = 2 and y2 = 1.

Now substitute the values in (1)

(y-8) = \frac{(1 - 8)}{(2 - 3)}\times(x- 3)

(y -8) = \frac{(- 7)}{(-1)}(x-3)

y – 8 = 7(x – 3)

y – 8 = 7x – 21  

7x – y = 21 – 8  

7x – y = 13  

Hence, the line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

2. Round the following numbers to the nearest 10 thousand:
Vlad [161]

The  values of the given numbers when it is rounded up to the nearest 10 thousands are:

  • 990000
  • 150000

<h3>What is rounding up in mathematics?</h3>

Rounding up can be described as the process that is been used in the mathematics which is been used in the estimation of a particular number in a context.

It should be noted that in rounding the  a number up, it is required to look at the next digit at the right hand of the given figures in a case whereby the digit is less than 5,the digit can be rounded down, but in the case whereby the digit is more that 5 then it can be rounded up .

From the given values, we are given the 990,201 and 159,994  and if this were to rounded up to the nearest 10 thousand then we will start from the right hand sides and round down the values less than 5 and round up the values that is more that 5. and their values will be 990000

and 150000.
