So point-slope form is (y-y1) = m(x-x1). So first find m. m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) So for your problem m = (-4-2) / (1--8) = -6/9 = -2/3. Then plug the slope and a point into the point-slope equation so you can either get: y-2 = (-2/3)*(x+8) or y+4 = (-2/3)*(x-1). Both are valid.

Hope this helps!

A line intersects the point (3,-4) and has a slope of 17. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line? y = 17x + [?]​
Ilya [14]
We can plug in the values of this point to find b
-4 = 17 (3) +b
We will multiply 17 times 3
-4 = 51 + b
We then subtract by 51 on both sides
-55 = b
So the full equation will be
y = 17x - 55

Consider isosceles ΔXYZ.
Rom4ik [11]

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The length of the legs XY and YZ is equal to 39 units.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. An isosceles triangle has two sides out of three equal.

A.) The value of n can be found by equating XY and XZ together,

XY = XZ

9n + 12 = 15n - 6

12 + 6 = 15n - 9n

18 = 6n

n = 3

Hence, the value of n is 3.

The length of different legs of the triangle is,

B.) XY = 9n + 12 = 9(3) + 12 = 27 + 12 = 39

C.) YZ = 15n - 6 = 15(3) - 6 = 45 - 6 = 39

Hence, the length of the legs XY and YZ is equal to 39 units.

Unit 5
AlladinOne [14]

his average test score would be 82

you add together all the test scores

90 + 76 + 84 + 66 + 96 + 89 + 73 =574

and then you divide that number by how many scores there were

574 ÷ 7 = 82

The function f(x)= -1/4(x) +1 is getting closer to a particular number. Its initial values are 4 and -2, what happens to the val
Basile [38]

Answer:

After 10 iterations, the value is approximately the value it gets closer each time, which is 0.8 (or 4/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the inicial value is 4, we have:

1: f(4) = -1/4(4) + 1 = 0

2: f(0) = -1/4(0) + 1 = 1

3: f(1) = -1/4(1) + 1 = 3/4

4: f(3/4) = -1/4(3/4) + 1 = 13/16

5: f(13/16) = -1/4(13/16) + 1 = 51/64

6: f(51/64) = -1/4(51/64) + 1 = 205/256

7: f(205/256) = -1/4(205/256) + 1 = 819/1024

8: f(819/1024) = -1/4(819/1024) + 1 = 3277/4096

9: f(3277/4096) = -1/4(4) + 1 = 13107/16384

10: f(13107/16384) = -1/4(13107/16384) + 1 = 52429/65536 = 0.8

If the inicial value is -2, we have:

1: f(-2) = -1/4(-2) + 1 = 3/2

2: f(3/2) = -1/4(3/2) + 1 = 5/8

3: f(5/8) = -1/4(5/8) + 1 = 27/32

4: f(27/32) = -1/4(27/32) + 1 = 101/128

5: f(101/128) = -1/4(101/128) + 1 = 411/512

6: f(411/512) = -1/4(411/512) + 1 = 1637/2048

7: f(1637/2048) = -1/4(1637/2048) + 1 = 6555/8192

8: f(6555/8192) = -1/4(6555/8192) + 1 =  26213/32768

9: f(26213/32768) = -1/4(26213/32768) + 1 = 104859/131072

10: f(104859/131072) = -1/4(104859/131072) + 1 = 419429/524288 = 0.8
