parallel lines have the same slope


The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"


They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3


You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6


So far we have y=-5/6x + b

We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"


Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get

-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b

-1 = -5 +b

4 = b

b = 4


We found b, or the y-intercept


Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found


y = -5/6x + 4

Determine the quotient, q(x), and remainder, r(x) when
Fed [463]
ANSWER

Quotient:

q(x) = {x}^{2} - 4x + 7\\

Remainder:

r(x) = 11x - 29

EXPLANATION

The given functions are

f(x) = 4 {x}^{4} + 12 {x}^{3} + 17 {x}^{2} + 19x + 6

and

g(x) = 4 {x}^{2} + 4x + 5

We want to find the quotient and the remainder when f(x) is divided by g(x).

We perform the long division as shown in the attachment.

The quotient is

q(x) = {x}^{2} - 4x + 7

The remainder is

r(x) = 11x - 29

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

2.2     Solve   2x-5y-5  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x-5y-5  = 0 and calculate its properties
