If a line with slope = 2 passes through the points (4,-8) and (x,2), find x

Mathematics

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula then equate to 2

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, 2 )

m = \frac{2+8}{x-4} = \frac{10}{x-4} = 2 ( multiply both sides by x - 4 )

2(x - 4) = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x - 4 = 5 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 9

2. Find an equation for the line with slope = 0 that passes through the point (-5, 7).
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

2. y = 7

3. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope 0 is when the line is horizontal.. has a constant coordinate

(-5,7) lies on the line so the x-coordinate is 7

Equation: y = 7

A vertical line has all same x-coordinates.

Since (4,-2) is on the line, every point had x-coordinate of 4.

Equation: x = 5

Theresa has two brothers, Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is
Schach [20]

Answer:

From given, we have,

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.  

Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.

Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.

So, we get,

For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T

⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)

For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T

⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)

equating  equations (1) and (2), we get,

3/2 x - 16 =  4/3 x - 6

6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x

-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x

-60 = -x

x = 60 inches.

Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.
