Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let A(2,1) B(5,-8)

the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(-8-1)/(5-2) = -9/3=-3

an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope

y = -3x +b

the line through point (2,1) : 1= -(3)(2)+b

b = 7

the equation is : y =-3x+7

Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 1) to the point (5, -8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 9. Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Then the equation of the line (in point-slope form) is

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Answer: The correct option is second, i.e., x>0.

Explanation:

As we know that the domain is the set of all possible inputs. If function is defined as, f(x) then all possible value of x for which the function f(x) is defined is called domain.

In a graph the domain is defined on the x axis and the range of the function is defined on y-axis.

In the given graph the function is defined from x=0 to $x=\infty$ because for $x\leq 0$ the graph is not defined. It means for $x\leq 0$ the function is not defined.

Sicen the graph is defined for all positive values of x, therefore the domain of the function is al real number greater than 0. It can be written as x>0 and the second option is correct.

The center of a circle is (4, 6), and an endpoint of a diameter is (2, 5). What is the other endpoint of the diameter?

valentinak56 [21]

Consider this option:
1. if the point (4;6) is the centre of the circle and the point (2;5) is the first endpoint of its diameter, then point (4;6) is the middle point of the diameter (it means that is the middle between the 1st and the 2d endpoints of diameter).
2. using the property described above:
for x of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: x=4*2-2=6;
for y of the 2d endpoint of the diameter: y=6*2-5=7.

answer: (6;7)
