The answer is x is less than 1.
Answer:
x=17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)/(x+2)=1/5
cross product
1(x+2)=5(x-3)
x+2=5x-15
5x-x-15=2
4x-15=2
4x=2+15
4x=17
x=17/4
Given:
The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p) has a gradient of
.
To find:
The value of p.
Solution:
If a line passes through two points, then the slope of the line is:

The line passing through (-2,5) and (2,p). So, the slope of the line is:



It is given that the gradient or slope of the line is
.

On cross multiplication, we get




Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, the value of p is 3.
In order to find b1 from your formula stated we need to do few calculations
A=hb1+hb2, as you wee I multiply h with both bases( b1 and b2)
I will subtract hb2 from both sides
hb1=A-hb2
now I will divide my new expression by h
b1=(A-hb2)/h
