Write the equation of a line through points (5, 5) and (1, 0) in point-slope form

klasskru [66]

Answer:

y=(5/4)x-5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

= $\frac{5-0}{5-1}$

=5/4

The SLops is 5/4

point-slope forum is

y=(5/4)x-5/4

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

x= 62

y= 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the numbers be x and y and the larger be x the smaller be y

The difference between two numbers is 8

x-y= 8-----------1

If the larger is subtracted from three times the smaller, the difference is 100

3y-x=100------------2

from eqn 1, x= 8+y

put this in eqn 2

3y-(8+y)=100

3y-8-y=100

collect liker terms

3y-y-8=100

2y=108

y= 54

put y= 54 in eqn 1

x-y=8

x-54= 8

x= 8+54

x=62

Fencing a horse corral carol has 2400 ft of fencing to fence in a rectangular horse corral. (a) find a function that models the

Vanyuwa [196]

Here it is given that the width is x ft and total length of the fence is 2400 ft .

Let the length be y ft

So we have

$2(x+y) =2400
\\
x+y=1200
\\
y = 1200 -x$

Let A represents area, and area is the product of length and width .

So we get

$A = x y$

Substituting the value of y, we will get

$A = x (1200-x)= 1200x -x^2$

Second part

The area is maximum at the vertex, and vertex is

$x = - \frac{1200}{2(-1)} = 600 feet$

And

$y=1200-x = 1200-600 = 600 feet$

And that's the required dimensions .
