Write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-1) with a slope of -3

DiKsa [7]2 years ago

We have a slope of -3 and a point of (2,-1) so this line can be expressed as:

slope intercept form:  y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept...

y=-3x+b, using point (2,-1) we can solve for b

-1=-3(2)+b

-1=-6+b

b=5 so 

y=-3x+5

.....

We can also express this in point slope form:  (y-y1)=m(x-x1)  we know m=-3 and (x1,y1)=(2,-1)

(y+1)=-3(x-2)

....

Finally we can express the line is standard form:  ax+by=k

If we look at the y=mx+b that we had earlier we can simply rearrange it into standard form...

y=-3x+5  add 3x to both sides and we are done :P

3x+y=5

Explain what you can tell just by comparing the symbols in the picture graph
olchik [2.2K]
Picture graphs usually show amounts using...pictures! So if you looked at the symbols, you can likely guess the amounts. It might show how many students preferred hamburgers by using a hamburger to represent every 5 students. Just by quickly glancing at a picture graph, you can usually tell which result is the greatest.

Eamon wants to buy a new baseball glove that costs $50. he has $14 and earns $6 per hour cleaning yards. How many hours must he
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The answer is that he would have to work 6 hours to have enough money to buy the glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Find the amount he needs to earn by subtracting $14 from $50: 50 - 14 = 36. So he needs to earn $36.00.

2: Since you have to find the amount of hours, you can divide $6 from $36 to get the amount of hours he needs to work: 36 / 6 = 6. Eamon only gets $6.00 per hour so he would have to work 6 hours to get the $36.00.

If the measure of DEF is 65 what is the measure of DE. PLEASE HELP FAST
Wittaler [7]

EF is tangent to the circle we'll assume; otherwise there's no progress.


Call the center C. ECD is isosceles, formed from two radii and the chord.


Angle CED is complementary to DEF


CED = 90 - 65 = 25 degrees


CDE is congruent, isosceles triangle and all that: CDE=25


That leaves DCE=180-25-25=130 degrees


That's the measure of arc DE as well:


Answer: 130 degrees, choice A
