A line passes through (-1,5) and (1,3) what is the equation of the line

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,5)...x1 = -1 and y1 = 5

(1,3)....x2 = 1 and y2 = 3

slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (3 - 5) / (1 - (-1) = -2 / (1 + 1) = -2/2 = -1

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -1

u can use either of ur points...I will use (1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3

now we sub and find b, the y int

3 = -1(1) + b

3 = -1 + b

3 + 1 = b

4 = b

ur equation is : y = -x + 4 <===

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
