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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

A rectangular solid and a cube are of equal volume. If the rectangular solid is 20 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide, and 10
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

10 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to remember what's the formula to get the volume of a rectangular solid and a cube.

The volume of the first equals:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

While the volume of the cube is:

Volume = a^{3} where a is the edge.

We are given the measures of the rectangular solid so we can calculate its volume:

Volume= (20)(5)(10)=1000 cubic cms.

Now, we know that  both the volume of the rectangular solid and the cube are the same so we will use this information to calculate the edge of the cube.

1000=a^3 \\\sqrt[3]{1000} =\sqrt[3]{a^3} \\10=a

Thus the length of an edge of the cube is 10 centimeters
