The slope is 2 and the equation of the line is y = mx+b with m =2
Then the equation becomes: y = 2x+b. How to calculate b?
Since this line passes through the point (-3 , 4), we replace x with -3 and y=4
4= 2.(-3) + b
4 = - 6 + b
and b= 10. The final equation is : y = 2x + 10 (answer a)
Answer:
The length of the resulting segment is 500.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vectorially speaking, the dilation is defined by following operation:
(1)
Where:
- Center of dilation.
- Original point.
- Scale factor.
- Dilated point.
First, we proceed to determine the coordinates of the dilated segment:

![Q'(x,y) = O(x,y) + k\cdot [Q(x,y)-O(x,y)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%27%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20O%28x%2Cy%29%20%2B%20k%5Ccdot%20%5BQ%28x%2Cy%29-O%28x%2Cy%29%5D)
![Q' (x,y) = (0,0) +5\cdot [(70,120)-(0,0)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Q%27%20%28x%2Cy%29%20%3D%20%280%2C0%29%20%2B5%5Ccdot%20%5B%2870%2C120%29-%280%2C0%29%5D)

Then, the length of the resulting segment is determined by following Pythagorean identity:


The length of the resulting segment is 500.
<h3>
Answer: x-4</h3>
We simply drop the absolute value signs and write whatever is inside
This is because |x-4| is really composed of two equations and it depends on what x is
If x < 4, then we use -(x-4) or -x+4
If x >= 4, then we use x-4
This is from the idea that |x| breaks down into this piecewise function

Replace every x with x-4

Then for each inequality, you would solve for x to get the following

which is the same as
