The 250 cm board is cut into 5 pieces.
since three short pieces are of equal length, lets name each piece as 'x'
the longer ones are 15 cm longer than shorter ones so we can name them as 'x +15'
the sum of these pieces are 250
x + x + x + (x+15) + (x + 15) = 250
3x + 2x + 30 = 250
5x = 250 - 30
5x = 220
x = 44 cm
length of a short piece - 44 cm
length of long piece - 44 + 15 = 59 cm

Which of the following point-slope form equations could be produced with the points (-1, 4) and (2, -3)?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Option B, y + 3 = -7/3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Point slope form:  (y - y1) = m(x - x1)</u>

<u />

<u>Step 1:  Find the slope</u>

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

m = \frac{-3 - 4}{2 - (-1)}

m = \frac{-7}{2 + 1}

m = \frac{-7}{3}

<u>Step 2:  Plug into the point slope form</u>

(y - 4) = -7/3(x - (-1))

(y - 4) = -7/3(x + 1)

OR

(y - (-3)) = -7/3(x - 2)

y + 3 = -7/3(x - 2)

Answer:  Option B, y + 3 = -7/3(x - 2)

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the change in y over the change in x.

m = (8 - 6) / (8 - 4) = 2/4 = 1/2

Slope intercept of (2,-12) and (5,6)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>The slope of the line is m=6.  </em>

<em>The y-intercept is (0,−24).  </em>

<em>The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=−12, x2=5, y2=6.

Plug the given values into the formula for the slope: m=(6)−(−12)(5)−(2)=183=6.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−m⋅x1 (or b=y2−m⋅x2, the result is the same).

b=−12−(6)⋅(2)=−24.

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=mx+b.

y=6x−24.

Answer:

The slope of the line is m=6.

The y-intercept is (0,−24).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.
