How do you find the equation of a line with Guassian elimination given two points?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paraphin [41]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  The solution is similar to the 2-point form of the equation for a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·x + (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two points, write two equations in the unknowns of the equation of the line.

For example, you can use the equation ...

  y = mx + b

Then for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you have two equations in m and b:

  b + (x1)m = (y1)

  b + (x2)m = (y2)

The corresponding augmented matrix for this system is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&x1&y1\\1&x2&y2\end{array}\right]

____

The "b" variable can be eliminated by subtracting the first equation from the second. This puts a 0 in row 2 column 1 of the matrix, per <em>Gaussian Elimination</em>.

  0 + (x2 -x1)m = (y2 -y1)

Dividing by the value in row 2 column 2 gives you the value of m:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

This value can be substituted into either equation to find the value of b.

  b = (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . substituting for m in the first equation

If a car has tires with a diameter of 28 inches and is traveling at 55 mph, how fast are its tires spinning, in rpm^ prime s (re
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The tires are spinning at 660.49 revolutions per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the tires (v) is the same that the speed of the car, so to find the angular velocity of the tires we need to use the equation:

\omega = \frac{v}{r}

Where:

r: is the radius of the tires = d/2 = 28 inches/2 = 14 inches

\omega = \frac{55 mph}{14 inches*\frac{1 mile}{63360 inches}} = 2.49 \cdot 10^{5} \frac{rad}{h}*\frac{1 h}{60 min}*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 660.49 rpm              

Therefore, the tires are spinning at 660.49 revolutions per minute.

   

I hope it helps you!

600 ft. This is because you travel 10 feet per second and there are 60 seconds in a minute. 10 x 60 =600
