Find the equation of the line that passes through (-2, -5) and (1, 7).

Delvig [45]3 years ago

Answer:

\displaystyle 4x - y = -3, -4x + y = 3\:OR\:y = 4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of change</em> [<em>slope</em>]:

\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{5 + 7}{2 + 1} = \frac{12}{3} = 4

Now plug these coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the <em>Point-Slope Formula</em>, since it is much swifter that way. It does not matter which ordered pair you choose:

7 = 4 + b

\displaystyle 3 = b \\ \\ y = 4x + 3

If you want it in <em>Standard Form</em>:

y = 4x + 3

- 4x - 4x

_________

\displaystyle -4x + y = 3\:OR\:4x - y = -3

_______________________________________________

−5 = 4[−2] + b

−8

\displaystyle 3 = b \\ \\ y = 4x + 3

If you want it in <em>Standard Form</em>:

y = 4x + 3

- 4x - 4x

_________

\displaystyle -4x + y = 3\:OR\:4x - y = -3

** You see? I told you that it did not matter which ordered pair you choose [as long your <em>rate of change</em> is correct] because you will ALWAYS get the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Answer:

17/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the AB rule, Adjust the fractions based on LCM, then you want to apply the a/b fraction rule which would allow you to do -15+23/24 which gives you 17/24. Hope this helps!

Papessa [141]

Answer:

(f+g)(x)=2x+1+5 - x

(f+g)(x)=x + 6

(f - g)(x)= 2x + 1 - (5- x )

(f - g)(x)= 3x - 4

Can anybody helppp meee please
crimeas [40]

Answer:

r^2=(A/pi)

Step-by-step explanation:

if A=pi*r^2 then maybe dividing by pi to get r^2 alone says r^2=(A/pi) or to get rid of the exponent you may square root each side so r=(sqrt(A/pi))

In the accompanying diagram, parallelogram ABCD has
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:

A = b\cdot h (1)

Where:

A - Area.

b - Base.

h - Height.

The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:

Base

b = 8-2

b = 6

Height

h = 5-1

h = 4

Then, the area of the parallelogram is:

A = (6)\cdot (4)

A = 24

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
