What is the equation of the line passing through the points (3,6) and (2,10)
andrezito [222]

Answer: y= - 4x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y=mx+b

***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

3= x1

2= x2

6= y1

10=y2

m=\frac{10-6}{2-3}= \frac{4}{1}= -4

m=-4

Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.

You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:

   (3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.

   (2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.

Equation of the line: y=-4x+18

Find parametric equations for the path of a particle that moves along the circle x2 + (y − 1)2 = 4 in the manner described. (Ent
QveST [7]

Answer:

x=2\cos(t) and y=-2\sin(t)+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 has parametric equations:

(x-h)=r\cos(t) \text{ and } (y-k)=r\sin(t).

Let's solve these for x and y  respectively.

x-h=r\cos(t) can be solved for x by adding h on both sides:

x=r\cos(t)+h.

y-k=r \sin(t) can be solve for y by adding k on both sides:

y=r\sin(t)+k.

We can verify this works by plugging these back in for x and y respectively.

Let's do that:

(r\cos(t)+h-h)^2+(r\sin(t)+k-k)^2

(r\cos(t))^2+(r\sin(t))^2

r^2\cos^2(t)+r^2\sin^2(t)

r^2(\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t))

r^2(1) By a Pythagorean Identity.

r^2 which is what we had on the right hand side.

We have confirmed our parametric equations are correct.

Now here your h=0 while your k=1 and r=2.

So we are going to play with these parametric equations:

x=2\cos(t) and y=2\sin(t)+1

We want to travel clockwise so we need to put -t and instead of t.

If we were going counterclockwise it would be just the t.

x=2\cos(-t) and y=2\sin(-t)+1

Now cosine is even function while sine is an odd function so you could simplify this and say:

x=2\cos(t) and y=-2\sin(t)+1.

We want to find \theta such that

2\cos(t-\theta_1)=2 \text{ while } -2\sin(t-\theta_2)+1=1 when t=0.

Let's start with the first equation:

2\cos(t-\theta_1)=2

Divide both sides by 2:

\cos(t-\theta_1)=1

We wanted to find \theta_1 for when t=0

\cos(-\theta_1)=1

Cosine is an even function:

\cos(\theta_1)=1

This happens when \theta_1=2n\pi where n is an integer.

Let's do the second equation:

-2\sin(t-\theta_2)+1=1

Subtract 2 on both sides:

-2\sin(t-\theta_2)=0

Divide both sides by -2:

\sin(t-\theta_2)=0

Recall we are trying to find what \theta_2 is when t=0:

\sin(0-\theta_2)=0

\sin(-\theta_2)=0

Recall sine is an odd function:

-\sin(\theta_2)=0

Divide both sides by -1:

\sin(\theta_2)=0

\theta_2=n\pi

So this means we don't have to shift the cosine parametric equation at all because we can choose n=0 which means \theta_1=2n\pi=2(0)\pi=0.

We also don't have to shift the sine parametric equation either since at n=0, we have \theta_2=n\pi=0(\pi)=0.

So let's see what our equations look like now:

x=2\cos(t) and y=-2\sin(t)+1

Let's verify these still work in our original equation:

x^2+(y-1)^2

(2\cos(t))^2+(-2\sin(t))^2

2^2\cos^2(t)+(-2)^2\sin^2(t)

4\cos^2(t)+4\sin^2(t)

4(\cos^2(t)+\sin^2(t))

4(1)

4

It still works.

Now let's see if we are being moving around the circle once around for values of t between 0 and 2\pi.

This first table will be the first half of the rotation.

t                  0                      pi/4                pi/2               3pi/4               pi  

x                  2                     sqrt(2)             0                  -sqrt(2)            -2

y                  1                    -sqrt(2)+1          -1                  -sqrt(2)+1            1

Ok this is the fist half of the rotation.  Are we moving clockwise from (2,1)?

If we are moving clockwise around a circle with radius 2 and center (0,1) starting at (2,1) our x's should be decreasing and our y's should be decreasing at the beginning we should see a 4th of a circle from the point (x,y)=(2,1) and the point (x,y)=(0,-1).

Now after that 4th, the x's will still decrease until we make half a rotation but the y's will increase as you can see from point (x,y)=(0,-1) to (x,y)=(-2,1).  We have now made half a rotation around the circle whose center is (0,1) and radius is 2.

Let's look at the other half of the circle:

t                pi               5pi/4                  3pi/2            7pi/4                     2pi

x               -2              -sqrt(2)                0                 sqrt(2)                      2

y                1                sqrt(2)+1             3                  sqrt(2)+1                   1

So now for the talk half going clockwise we should see the x's increase since we are moving right for them.  The y's increase after the half rotation but decrease after the 3/4th rotation.

We also stopped where we ended at the point (2,1).

Find equations of the lines passing through (−2, 3) and having the following characteristics.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

a.y=13/16x+37/8

b.y=3/2x+6

c.y=3/4x+9/2

d.x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

All lines must pass through (-2,3)

a. The slope must be 13/16;

y=13/16x+b, SInce it must pass through (-2,3), plug in -2 as the x-value and 3 as the y-value

3=13/16(-2)+b, solve for b.

24/8=-13/8+b

37/8=b

y=13/16x+37/8

b, It must be parallel to the line 3x-2y=2; first, find the slope by converting to y=mx+b

3x-2y=2

-2y=-3x+2

y=3/2x-1, Parallel lines have the same slope so a line parallel to 3x-2y=2 and passing through (-2,3) will have a slope of 3/2.

Plug in (-2,3) to find the b-value again.

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

3=-3+b

6=b

y=3/2x+6

c. It must have a line perpendicular to 4x+3y=6.  Again like in b, find the slope.

y=-4/3+2, the slope is -4/3.

Now, perpendicular lines have the opposite inverse slopes which means that you add a negative sign and flip the numerator and denominator

-(-3/4), this is just 3/4

Ok, the slope of the line is 3/4, plug in (-2,3) to find the b-value again.

(3)=3/4(-2)+b

6/2=-3/2+b

9/2=b

y=3/4x+9/2

d. The line is paralell to the y-axis.

This just means that the line is vertical. The line has no slope.

The vertical line that passes through the x-value -2 is x=-2

x=-2
