Find a point-slope form for the line with slope 1/5 and passing through the point (-7,-4).
1 answer:
Answer:
y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The "point-slope" form of the equation of a straight line is:
y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)
where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.
If m = ⅕ and (x₁, y₁) = (-7, - 4), the point-slope equation is
y + 4 = ⅕(x + 7)
The Figure below shows the graph of your line and a point at (-7, -4).

If a pentagon is regular, then all of the sides are the same length. This means that
So, if , the lengths of the sides evaluate to
So, all the sides of the pentagon are 21 units long, and AB is 21 units long as well, because all sides are the same length.
