What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 1) and (-6, -1)?

Answer:

y =  \frac{1}{6} x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

\boxed{gradient =  \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }

Using the above formula,

m =  \frac{1 - ( - 1)}{6 - ( - 6)}  \\ m =  \frac{1 + 1}{6 + 6}  \\ m =  \frac{2}{12}  \\ m =  \frac{1}{6}

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

y =  \frac{1}{6} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x=6, y=1,

1 =  \frac{1}{6} (6) + c \\ 1 = 1 + c \\ c = 1 - 1 \\ c = 0

Thus, the equation of the line is y=⅙x.

What is the rule for the reflection ?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

This idea of reflection correlating with a mirror image is similar in math.

This complete guide to reflecting over the x axis and reflecting over the y axis will provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to perform these translations.

 First, let’s start with a reflection geometry definition

Math Definition: Reflection Over the X Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the X axis involved reflecting the image over the x axis to create a mirror image. In this case, the x axis would be called the axis of reflection.

Math Definition: Reflection Over the Y Axis

A reflection of a point, a line, or a figure in the Y axis involved reflecting the image over the Y axis to create a mirror image. In this case, theY axis would be called the axis of reflection.

What is the rule for a reflection across the X axis?

The rule for reflecting over the X axis is to negate the value of the y-coordinate of each point, but leave the x-value the same.

Marcus has 731 books he puts about the same number of books on each of nine shelves in his bookcase about how many books are on
kondaur [170]

Answer:

81.2222 or 81 with 2 left over

Step-by-step explanation:

731/9 = 81.2222

81.2222 rounded down = 81

9*81 = 729

731-729 = 2 left over

This is the third time I am answering the question.

Find the value of x when the area of a triangle is 22 in2 and has a base of 3x-1 and height of x.
Virty [35]
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
