Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that passes through the two points would be correct if each point, when substituted into the equation, satisfy the equation.
This is what I mean:
Given the equation of the line, y = 2x - 5, and the two points (-2, -9) and (3, 1):
For the first point, substitute x = -2, and y = -9 into y = 2x - 5.
Thus:
-9 = 2(-2) - 5
-9 = -4 - 5
-9 = -9 (this is true). It means the line runs through the point (-2, -9)
For the second point, substitute x = 3, and y = 1 into y = 2x - 5
This:
1 = 2(3) - 5
1 = 6 - 5
1 = 1 (this is true). This also means the point, (3, 1) is also a point that the equation runs across.
Answer: (-1/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
This divides to -1/4
Substitute 22 for x
2(22)-5
44-5
39
Answer:
55° and 125°
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate an equation x + (x+70) = 180
Combine like terms to get 2x + 70 = 180
Subtract 70 on both sides to get 2x = 110.
Divide both sides by 2 to get x = 55.
Add 70 to 55 to get 125.
Check your answer by adding 55 + 125. It equals 180, so the angles are equal to 55 and 125.
