How do you determine whether three sets of points is collinear

Step 1) <u>Write an equation</u> of the line determined by two of the points.

Unless the y-intercept is too hard to find, we're probably going to use slope-intercept form to accomplish this.
Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0)

Step 1a) We <u>find the slope</u> with the change in the y-coordinates of the two points (the "rise") over the change in the x-coordinates. (the "run")

Step 1b) We can use this slope to <u>find the y-intercept</u>, the value of y when x = 0.
We know how y changes accordinate to changes in x by the slope.
Just take one of the points of our line, see how much x needs to change to become equal to 0, and change y accordingly.

Step 2) We can take our third point and plug in its x and y values in that equation, now that we have the equation of our line filled out. If you <u>evaluate the equation</u> and it is true, then the point is on that line. If it's not true for those values, the point is not on the line.

I think you mean "a set of three points". What I would do is take one point, find the slope from that point to another one, and then find the slope from the same starting point to the third one. If the (absolute values of the) slopes from the same starting point to each of the others are equal, then the three points are collinear.

The Tour de France is a bike race around the country of France. The bike race is a three week race that covers approximately 2,2
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Approximately 54.54% of race happened in the first week.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Length of bike race in three weeks = 2,200 miles

Race covered in first week = 1,200 miles

Percentage of race covered in first week =

=\dfrac{\text{Race covered in first week}}{\text{Total length of race}}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1200}{2200}\times 100\%\\\\=54.54\%

Thus, approximately 54.54% of race happened in the first week.

A store has a 40% off sale on headphones. With this discount, the price of one pair of headphones in $36. What is the original p
Mariana [72]

Let the original price of headphone = x

there is 40% discount which is 0.40x

so the payment price will be x-0.40x = 0.60x

Given that paid amount is $36

so both will be equal

0.60x = 36

x=36/0.60

x=60

Hence final answer is $60.

If I paid 3.00 for 2 chocolate bars how much would i pay for 6,700?
Licemer1 [7]
First we need to find the cost per chocolate bar aka the unit rate per chocolate bar

We start by taking 3$ and dividing it by 2 which gives us a total of 1.50$ each per chocolate bar

Now that we know that our unit rate is 1.50$ per bar we then do 1.50$ times 6,700 which gives us a total of 10,050$

This means that our answer is 10,050$ meaning you paid 10,050$ for 6,700 chocolate bars

The perimeter of a triangle is 65 cm. The
qwelly [4]

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

The longest side measures :

  • 27\:  \: cm

<h3>\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Explanation}}</h3>

Perimeter of a triangle is equal to sum of measures of its all three sides, that is :

  • x + x + 8 + x + 12

and according to the question, the perimeter of the triangle is = 65 cm

so, let's equate both the expressions to find value of x :

  • x + x + 8 + x + 12 = 65
  • 3x + 20 = 65
  • 3x = 65 - 20
  • 3x = 45
  • x = 45 \div 3
  • x = 15

The longest side of the Triangle is :

  • x + 12
  • 15 + 12
  • 27 \:  \: cm
