Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equation of the line thru the points (2,1) and (3,5)

---------------------

This is a 2 step process. First find the slope of the line thru the points.

slope, m = diffy/diffx

m = (5-1)/(3-2)

m = 4

---------

Now use y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept.

y = mx + b

5 = 4*3 + b

b = -7

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for calculating the equation of a line is expressed as shown below;

y = mx+c OR y-y1 = m(x-x1) where

m is the slope or gradient

c is the intercept (the point where the line cuts the y axis)

m = ∆y/∆x

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Given the points (-8,8) and (1,-10).

x1 = -8, y1 = 8, x2 = 1, y2 = -10

m = -10-8/1-(-8)

m = -18/9

m = -2

The equation of a line can also be written as a point slope:

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

Substituting the value of x1, y1 and m into the equation we have;

y-8 = -2(x-(-8))

y-8 = -2(x+8)

y-8 = -2x-16

y= -2x-16+8

y = -2x-8

The equation of the line is y = -2x-8

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x = 2, and 6

x = 2 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic function to analyze is: $y = -x^2+8x-12$

In order to find where the corresponding parabola intercepts the x axis, we set it equal to zero (y = 0):

$y = -x^2+8x-12\\0 = -x^2+8x-12\\x^2-8x+12=0$

This equation is easy to solve by factoring. We look for a air of integer numbers whose product equals the constant term "12", and whose combinig renders the coefficient of the middle term of the trinomial "-8".

The two such numbers are "-2" and "-6". We use them to split the middle term, and then solve by factoring by grouping:

$x^2-8x+12=0\\x^2-2x-6x+12=0\\(x^2-2x)+(-6x+12)=0\\x(x-2)-6(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(x-6)=0$

For the product of two factors to render zero, we need either one to be a zero.This means that (x-2)=0 (that is x = 2), or (x-6)=0 (that is x = 6).

So, there are two x-intercepts: x= 2, and 6

What is the value of a?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form: $\frac{YZ}{WZ} = \frac{WZ}{XZ}$ . We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly: $\frac{3}{5}= \frac{5}{XZ}$ . Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is $\frac{25}{3}$ . XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
