Find an equation for the line that passes through the points , −1−6 and , 5−2

neonofarm [45]4 years ago

Answer:

The equation is

y = 2x/3 + 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = y intercept

Slope, m = change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

From the information given,

The points through which the line passed through are −1, −6 and , 5, −2

Slope, m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

y2 = -2

y1 = -6

x2= 5

x1 = -1

Slope, m = (-2- -6)/(5- -1)

= 4/6 = 2/3

To find intercept, c

Let's use ( 5, −2)

-2 = 2/3 ×5 + c

-2 = 10/3 + c

c = -2 + 10/3 = 4/3

The slope-intercept equation will be

y = 2x/3 + 4/3

Examine the diagram, and answer the question.

Answer:

  11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

GeoGebra can not only draw the picture, it can answer the question. The approximate distance between the points is about 11.7 units.

__

The distance formula is used for this:

  d = √((x1 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((-4-2)² +(-3-7)²) = √(36 +100)

  d = √136 ≈ 11.7

_____

Once you find that the distance is about √136, you know it is more than 11 (11² = 121) and less than 12 (12² = 144). The only answer choice that makes any sense is 11.7.

| -4 + 5\2 | - (-x) =-3
Leto [7]

Answer:

x = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Solving the equation</em></u> :

\left\vert -4+\frac{5}{2} \right\vert  -\left( -x\right)  =-3

\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-8}{2} +\frac{5}{2} \right\vert  +x  =-3

\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-8+5}{2} \right\vert  +x  =-3

\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert \frac{-3}{2} \right\vert  +x  =-3

\Longleftrightarrow  \frac{3}{2}   +x  =-3

\Longleftrightarrow    x  =-3-\frac{3}{2}

\Longleftrightarrow    x  =-\frac{6}{2} -\frac{3}{2}

\Longleftrightarrow   x = -(\frac{6}{2} +\frac{3}{2} )

\Longleftrightarrow    x  =-\frac{9}{2}

\Longleftrightarrow    x  =-4.5

A blackboard has an area of 28 and a perimeter of 22 ft. What are the dimensions of the board?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

the ancer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Dimension of board is 4 ft by 7 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A blackboard has an area of 28 feet squared and a perimeter of 22 ft.

We have to find the dimension of blackboard and choose the correct option from given options.

Since blackboard is in shape of rectangle thus,

Area of blackboard is 28 feet²

That is, Area of rectangle =  28 feet²

We know Area of rectangle = length × Breadth

substitute, we get,

28 = length × Breadth ......(1)

Also, Perimeter of blackboard is 22 feet.

That is, Perimeter of rectangle =  22 feet

We know, Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + Breadth)

substitute, we get,

22 = 2 (length + Breadth)  

11 = (length + breadth)   ........(2)

Let length be l and breadth be b

Solving (1) and (2) ,

from (2)

b = 11 - l  ..(3)

put (3)  in (1) , we get,

28 = L (11 - L)

Multiply, we get,

Solving above quadratic equation using middle term split method, we get,

Solving, e get,

Using zero product property, we get,

 and

We get ,

 and

Thus, length can be 4ft or 7 ft

Substitute, L in (3) , we get,

b = 11 - 4 = 7 ft

b = 11 - 7 = 4 ft

Thus, Dimension of board is 4 ft by 7 ft.

Option (c) is correct. hope it helped <3
