Answer:

y=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{1}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}

To find slope of f(x) at x=2, find the derivative f'(x)

apply quotient rule to find derivative

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}\\f'(x)=\frac{2(x+7)-1(2x-1)}{(x+7)^2} \\f'(x)=\frac{15}{(x+7)^2}

f'(x) is the slope . Now find slope at x=2. plug in 2 for x

f'(x)=\frac{15}{(x+7)^2}\\f'(2)=\frac{15}{(2+7)^2}=\frac{5}{27}

find out f(x) when x=2

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}\\f(2)=\frac{2(2)-1}{2+7}=\frac{1}{3}

Now frame the equation of the line

(2,1/3) slope = 5/27

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{27} (x-2)\\y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{10}{27}\\\\y=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{1}{27}\\\\

\qquad 
\begin{array}{lllll}
center\ (&{{ h}},&{{ k}})\qquad 
radius=&{{ r}}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
x^2+y^2=49\iff (x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=7^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(x-\underline{(-3)})^2+(y-\underline{(+4)})^2=7^2\quad 
\begin{cases}
h=-3\\
k=4
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\boxed{(x+3)^2+(y-4)^2=49}

How to do linear equations 27, 28,28,30
Mekhanik [1.2K]
#27.  
First cross multiply
2 (2a-3) = 3 (a-1)
next use the distribute property on both sides
4a - 6 = 3a - 3
combine like terms, subtract 3a from both sides and add 6 to both sides
a = 3

#28
cross multiply
3x = 4, then divide both sides by 3
x = 4/3

#30
add 1/4 to both sides
3/x = 1/2 + 1/4, find a common denominator for the right side fractions
3/x = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
therefore, x = 4
