The point slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x -x1)
Where m is the slope and x1 and y1 are the points on the line.
You are told the slope is 3 and the point is (2,-1/2)
x1 is 2 and y1 is -1/2
Replace those in the equation to get:
y- (-1/2) = 3(x-2)
Simplify to get the final answer:
y + 1/2 = 3(x-2)
Answer:
m∠EGC=70°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The measure of the inner angle is the semi-sum of the arcs comprising it and its opposite
so
m∠EGC=(1/2)[arc EC+arc DF]
<u><em>Find the value of x</em></u>
we have
m∠EGC=(7x+7)°
arc EC=50°
arc DF=10x°
substitute and solve for x
(7x+7)°=(1/2)[50°+10x°]
14x+14=50+10x
14x-10x=50-14
4x=36
x=9
<u><em>Find the measure of angle EGC</em></u>
m∠EGC=(7x+7)°
substitute the value of x
m∠EGC=(7(9)+7)°=70°
In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)
Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form
That would be y = -2x+9
This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.
The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9
----------------------------------------------------------------
Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below

Step-by-step explanation:
knowing that the triangle area is equal to base by heigh between two, then:

The length of the longest altitude of your triangle is:

finally it can be seen that the position of the triangle does not matter, as long as the base and heigh are maintained, the area of the triangle will be the same
