(-4,4) (2,1)
gradient = (1-4)/(2--4) = -1/2
y = mx + c
y = -1/2x + c
Replace point (2,1) in the equation
1=-1/2(2) +c
c = 2
Equation : y = -1/2x + 2
y-2 = -1/2x
Answer is C.
Hope it helped!

Answer: See below

Explanation:

8x + 14 = 10x - 10 (alt. exterior angle)
8x - 10x = -10 - 14
-2x = -24
x = -24/-2
x = 12

Now plug x = 12 in 10x - 10 to find the angle:

10(12) - 10 = 120 - 10 = 110 degree

Find k so that the distance from (–1, 1) to (2, k) is 5 units. k= k= *there are two solutions for 2*

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

k = -3

k =5

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\d = 5\\(-1,1) =(x_1,y_1)\\(2,k)=(x_2,y_2)\\$

$5=\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^2+\left(k-1\right)^2}\\\\\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}:\quad 25=k^2-2k+10\\25=k^2-2k+10\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:25=k^2-2k+10:\\k^2-2k+10=25\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\k^2-2k+10-25=25-25\\k^2-2k-15=0\\\\\mathrm{Solve\:by\:factoring}\\\\\mathrm{Factor\:}k^2-2k-15:\quad \left(k+3\right)\left(k-5\right)\\\mathrm{Solve\:}\:k+3=0:\quad k=-3\\$
