Write AN EQUATION of the line that passes through the given points (-1,4) and (2,-5)

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: y = -3x + 1

step-by-step process
find the slope first using (y-y)/(x-x)
(4-(-5))/(-1-2) = 9/(-3)
m = -3

then use one of the points to find the y-intercept by putting it in y=mx+b, substituting m with -3 (aka the slope) as well
4 = -3(-1) + b
4 = 3 + b
4 - 3 = 3 + b - 3
1 = b

therefore, the equation for the line is: y=-3x+1

25. A wheelchair access ramp has an angle of elevation of 16°. If the ramp

Elanso [62]

Answer:

C. 76.81

Step-by-step explanation:

We must use one of the trigonometric ratios to find the length, L, of the ramp. If we use 16 as the reference angle, the 22 in would be our opposite side and the ramp length is the adjacent.

Therefore, we must use tan, which is $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ :

$tan (16)=\frac{22}{L} \\\\L*(tan(16)=22)\\\\L*tan(16)=22\\$

$\frac{L*tan(16)}{tan(16)}=\frac{22}{tan(16} \\\\L=79.815=79.82 in.$

By using a number line, arrange each of the each of the following in descending order (a) 4 29upon 33, -2.365,5.5,-3 upon 4 (b)

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The arrangement of the numbers in descending order (largest to smallest) are as follows;

a). 5.5, 4, 29/33, -3/4, -2.365
b). 10, 5.855, 5/8, 1/2 -2π, -8

<h3>What is the arrangement of the numbers in descending order in each case?</h3>

It follows from convention that the positive numbers are larger than negative numbers and hence, should appear before negative numbers when the arrangement is in descending order.

Consequently, the numbers can be evaluated and arranged as in the answer above with positive numbers increasing rightwards and negative numbers decreasing leftward of 0 on the number line.
