What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-7) and has a slope of -4/3?

Mathematics

Gemiola [76]3 years ago

Answer:

4x + 3y + 9 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When a slope of a line and a point passing through it is given then we use slope - one point form to determine the equation of the line.

It is given by:

                      $ (y - y_1) = m (x - x_1) $

where $m$ is the slope of the line and

           $ (x_1, y_1) $ is the point passing through it.

Here, $ m = \frac{-4}{3} $ and $ (x_1 , y_1) = (3 , -7) $.

Substituting in the formula y +  7 = \frac{-4}{3} (x - 3)

$ \implies 3y + 21 = -4x + 12 $

$ 4x + 3y + 9 = 0 $

What are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle in which one acute angle measures 19° and the hypotenuse is 15 units long?
pentagon [3]
The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.
                      leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units
                      leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units
The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.

Josh has some nickels. He says they are worth exactly 33 cents. Can you tell if Josh is correct or not?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: Josh is incorrect because nickels are worth 5 cents each and 33 can not be divided by 5 exactly.

If a line has a slope of 4 and contains the point (-2, 5), what is its equation in point-slope form?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = 4x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to write the equation of the line using the point slope form.

Mathematically, the point slope form can be represented as;

(y-y1) = m(x - x1)

where x1 = -2 , y1 = 5 and m which is the slope is 4

Plugging these values into the equation, we have;

(y-5) = 4(x - (-2))

y-5 = 4(x + 2)

y -5 = 4x + 8

y = 4x + 8 + 5

y = 4x + 13

What is the y-intercept, axis of symmetry and vertex of the following function.
Pepsi [2]

Complete the square:

F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5

F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5

F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5

F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5

F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5

F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2

The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :

F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.

The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from

(x + 1)² ≥ 0   ⇒   -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0   ⇒   -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2

This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.

As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
