What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,8) and (-3,2)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
8 0

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (6, 8) and (-3, 2). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{2-8}{-3-6}=\dfrac{-6}{-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y-8=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-6)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\y-8=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4\qquad|+8\\\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+4\qquad|-\dfrac{2}{3}x\\\\-\dfrac{2}{3}x+y=4\qquad|\cdot(-3)\\\\2x-3y=-12

Answer:

point-slope form: y-8=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-6)

slope-intercept form: y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+4

standard form: 2x-3y=-12

Two similar triangular prisms have volumes of 27 square meters and 64 square meters.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know that the dimensions ratio, the surface area ratio and the volume ratio have the following relation:

volume ratio = dimension ratio ^3

surface area ratio = dimension ratio ^2

The volume ratio between small prism and the large prism is 27 / 64.

To find the dimensions ratio, we need to take the cubic root of the volume scale:

dimension ratio = 3√(27/64) = 3/4

Now, to find the surface area ratio, we just need to make the square of the dimension ratio:

surface area ratio = (3/4)^2 = 9/16

The sum of three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence is 27, and the sum of their squares is 293. What is the absolute di
Ber [7]

The absolute difference between the greatest and the least of these three numbers in the arithmetic sequence is 10.

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence. Therefore,

d = common difference

let

a = centre term

Therefore, the 3 consecutive term will be as follows

a - d,  a, a + d

a - d +  a + a + d = 27

3a = 27

a = 27 / 3

a = 9

Therefore,

(a-d)² + (a)² + (a + d)² = 293

(a²-2ad+d²) + 9² + (a² + 2ad + d²) = 293

(81 - 18d + d²) + 81 + (81 + 18d + d²) = 293

243 + 2d² = 293

2d² = 50

d² = 50 / 2

d = √25

d = 5

common difference = 5

Therefore, the 3 numbers are as follows

9 - 5 , 9, 9 + 5 = 4, 9, 14

The difference between the greatest and the least of these 3 numbers are as follows:

14 - 4 = 10

A soup kitchen makes 15 gallons of soup each day a quarter of the soup is served and the rest is saved for the next day , what i
Sophie [7]

Number of ounces left is 1120

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find number of ounces left after each day.

Given total soup prepared each day = 15 gallons

Amount served each day = 1/4 of 15 = 15/4 gallons

Amount left after each day = 15 - 15/4 = 60 - 15/4 = 35/4 gallons

  • Step 2: Convert gallons into ounces. 1 gallon = 128 ounces

35/4 gallons = 35/4 × 128 = 1120 ounces
