The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation an
masha68 [24]

<span>Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:</span>

<span>
</span>

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,

m is the slope of the line

b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation.

“3 less than the quotient of y and 4”
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Expression:

\dfrac{y}{4}-3

Value where y = 20

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a look at the sentence:

3 less than the quotient of y and 4

3 less indicates that you will subtract

   - 3

Quotient means the result of division.

\dfrac{y}{4}

So if we combine the two, it says 3 less than the quotient so we subtract 3 from the quotient:

\dfrac{y}{4}-3

So if y = 20, we just substitute the y with 20

\dfrac{y}{4}-3

\dfrac{20}{4}-3

5-3=2

2x-5y+5z=-10<br> 5x-4y+3z=-19<br> X-y+5z=17
yarga [219]

Answer:

x = -125/71 , y = 448/71 , z = 356/71

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{2 x - 5 y + 5 z = -10 | (equation 1)

5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

2 x - 5 y + 5 z = -10 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Subtract 2/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - (17 y)/5 + (19 z)/5 = (-12)/5 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 2 by 5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

x - y + 5 z = 17 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 3:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x - y/5 + (22 z)/5 = 104/5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x - y + 22 z = 104 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/17 × (equation 2) from equation 3:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+(355 z)/17 = 1780/17 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 17/5:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+71 z = 356 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 3 by 71:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y + 19 z = -12 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Subtract 19 × (equation 3) from equation 2:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x - 17 y+0 z = (-7616)/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by -17:

{5 x - 4 y + 3 z = -19 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Add 4 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{5 x + 0 y+3 z = 443/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Subtract 3 × (equation 3) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y+0 z = (-625)/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y+0 z = (-125)/71 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 448/71 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 356/71 | (equation 3)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -125/71 , y = 448/71 , z = 356/71

A ray and a line intersect to form ∠1 and ∠2 as shown below.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

STEP 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Francesca drew point (–2, –10) on the terminal ray of angle , which is in standard position. She found values for the six trigonometric functions using the steps below.

A unit circle is shown. A ray intersects point (negative 2, negative 10) in quadrant 3. Theta is the angle formed by the ray and the x-axis in quadrant 1.

Francesca made her first error in step 3 because the sine, cosine, and tangent ratios are incorrect, which also resulted in incorrect cosecant, secant, and tangent functions.
