What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (2,3) and (-6,1)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 1/4 x + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

first we need to find the slope which is difference of the y's over difference of the x's. so (3-1)/(2-(-6)). ---> 2/8 ---> 1/4. the slope is 1/4.

pick one of the coordinates and plug in the y and x, solving for the y intercept. so:

3=1/4 * 2 + a

3=1/2 + a

a = 3 - 1/2

a = 5/2

so:

y = 1/4 x + 5/2

Perimeter is when you add up all the sides of a shape. For Anthony's shape, it would be 6 time 5, or 30 inches. For Carol's shape, it would be 6 times 5, or 30. Both shapes have the same perimeter. Hopefully this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -3) and is
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: 2y + 5x + 16 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to understand the principle/ conditions for parallelism and perpendicularity.

for two lines to be parallel to each other, their gradients or slopes (m) must be equal, that is  m₁ = m₂

Now from the given equation,

5x + 2y = 14 , we need to rearrange it to conform to the equation of a straight line so that the gradient could be established. ie

y = mx + c where m is the gradient

 2y = -5x  + 14

   y = -5x/2  + 14/2

   y = ⁻⁵ˣ/₂  + 7 , therefore , m₁ = ⁻⁵/₂ and m₂ = ⁻⁵/₂ ( parallelism Rule )

The next step is to find the value of C using the coordinate ( -2, -3 )

  -3 = ⁻⁵/₂ ˣ ⁻² + C,

  -3 =  ¹⁰/₂  + C

  -3 =  5 + C

   C = -8.

Now to find the equation of the line that passed through the coordinate

  y = mx + c

  y = ⁻⁵ˣ/₂  - 8

  2y = -5x - 16

  2y + 5x + 16 = 0.

Tank 1 initially contains 50 gals of water with 10 oz of salt in it, while tank 2 initially contains 20 gals of water with 15 oz
Naddik [55]
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{2\text{ oz}}{1\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}
\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac{x_1(t)\text{ oz}}{50\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}-\dfrac{x_2(t)\text{ oz}}{20\text{ gal}}\dfrac{5\text{ gal}}{1\text{ min}}

\implies\begin{cases}\dfrac{\mathrm dx_1}{\mathrm dt}=10-\dfrac1{10}x_1\\\\\dfrac{\mathrm dx_2}{\mathrm dt}=\dfrac1{10}x_1-\dfrac14x_2\\\\x_1(0)=10\\\\x_2(0)=15\end{cases}
