What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (-2,12)?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Which is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = -2

Given points are ( -2,12)

Which is

x = -2 and y =12

TO find:

Equation of line passing through these points = ?

Solution:

The point slope form of a line is

y = mx + c

Here we don't know the value of c

To find it

Putting y = 12 , x= -2 and y = -2 in the given equation

y = mx + c

Putting values it becomes

12 = (-2)*(-2) + c

12 = 4 + c

Subtracting 4 from both sides

12-4 = 4 -4 + c

8 = c

Now we have

m = -2 and c= 8

So equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

Putting value of m and c

y = -2*x + 8

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

The first three steps in writing f(x) = 40x + 5x2 in vertex form are shown. What is the function written in vertex form?

pychu [463]

F(x) = 5(x + 4) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8) – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 4)2 – 80
f(x) = 5(x + 8)2 – 80

A boat on a river travels downstream between two points, 20 mi apart, in one hour. The return trip against the current takes 2 1

kondaur [170]

Answer:

The speed of boat in still water is 14 miles per hour.

The speed of current is 6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v represent the speed of boat in still water and c represent speed of current.

We have been given that a boat on a river travels downstream between two points, 20 miles apart, in one hour.

The speed of boat downstream would speed of boat in still water plus speed of current that is $(v+c)$ .

The return trip against the current takes 2 1/ 2 hours. The speed of boat against current would speed of boat in still water minus speed of current that is $(v-c)$ .

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Substituting our given values, we will get:

$v+c=\frac{20}{1}...(1)$

$v-c=\frac{20}{2.5}...(2)$

Adding both equations, we will get:

$v+c+(v-c)=\frac{20}{1}+\frac{20}{2.5}$

$v+c+v-c=\frac{20}{1}+\frac{20}{2.5}$

$2v=20+8$

$2v=28$

$\frac{2v}{2}=\frac{28}{2}$

$v=14$

Therefore, the speed of boat in still water is 14 miles per hour.

To find the speed of the current in the river, we will substitute $v=14$ in equation (1) as:

$14+c=\frac{20}{1}$

$14+c=20$

$14-14+c=20-14$

$c=6$

Therefore, the speed of current is 6 miles per hour.

Simplify.

lubasha [3.4K]

<span>(-1/2)(4)(-2)(7y)(-1)

Just start multiplying!

-1/2 * 4 = -2
-2 * -2 = 4
4 * 7y = 28y
28y * -1 = -28y

Since that's not an option I suspect you're missing an x.</span>
