Answer:

The equation of the line is y = -2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, start by using the slope formula with both of the points.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - -7)/(-2 - 3)

m = 10/-5

m = -2

Now that we have the slope, use it along with either point in point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -2(x + 2)

y - 3 = -2x - 4

y = -2x - 1

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

b = 3, which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{b+3} + \frac{5}{b-3} = \frac{10b}{b^2-9}$

The minus common multiply must be (b-3)*(b+3) = b² - 9

$\frac{7*(b-3)}{b^2-9} + \frac{5*(b+3)}{b^2 -9} = \frac{10b}{b^2-9}$

7b - 21 + 5b + 15 = 10b

2b = 6

b = 3

Which is an extraneous solution because if we replace b = 3 in the equation, we must be 5/0 and 30/0, and there is division by 0. So this solution is invalid.
