What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (8, 4)

Mathematics

First let us find the slope between the two points.

Slope = Change in y / Change in x.

(3, 6) and (8, 4) compares to (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) =  (4 - 6) / (8 - 3) = -2/5 

Slope m = -2/5= -0.4

Using  y = mx + c,   using point (3, 6)

y = -0.4x  + c

6 = -0.4*3 + c

6 = -1.2 + c

6 + 1.2 = c

7.2 = c

c = 7.2

Equation = :       y = -0.4x +c

y = -0.4x + 7.2

y = -4/10  + 72/10

10y = -4x + 72

5y = -2x + 36

Equation =:      5y = -2x + 36

Hope this explains it.

What multiplies to -12 but added together equals -10
Airida [17]
Let the two numbers be x and y, then,
xy = -12 . . . (1)
x + y = -10 . . . (2)
From (2), x = -10 - y . . . (3)
Putting (3) into (1), gives
(-10 - y)y = -12
-10y - y^2 = -12
y^2 + 10y - 12 = 0
y= \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-(4\times(-12))} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{148} }{2} = \frac{-10\pm 2\sqrt{37} }{2} = -5\pm\sqrt{37}

Therefore, the two numbers are -5+\sqrt{37} and -5-\sqrt{37}

43 bottles can be filled in 2 minutes write the two ratios implied by this statement how long would it take to fill 860 bottles
snow_tiger [21]
Ratio and proportion
time/bottles=2/43


2/43=x/860
cross multily or times both sides by 43*860
860*2=43x
1720=43x
divide both sides by 43
40=x
answer is 40 minutes
