Write the equation of the line that passes through (3, 4) and (2, −1) in slope-intercept form.

1 answer:

3 0

(3,4)(2,-1)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (-1-4) / (2 - 3) = -5/-1 = 5

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
u can use either of ur points...(3,4)...x = 3 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = 5(3) + b
4 = 15 + b
4 - 15 = b
- 11 = b

so ur equation is : y = 5x - 11 <===

What is the solution for the equation StartFraction 5 Over 3 b cubed minus 2 b squared minus 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 Ove

Answer:

The solutions are:

$b=0,\:b=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

Solving the expression

$\frac{5}{3b^3-2b^2-5}=\frac{2}{b^3-2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:fraction\:cross\:multiply:\:if\:}\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c$

$5\left(b^3-2\right)=\left(3b^3-2b^2-5\right)\cdot \:2$

$5b^3-10=6b^3-4b^2-10$

$\mathrm{Switch\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-10=5b^3-10$

$6b^3-4b^2-10+10=5b^3-10+10$

$6b^3-4b^2=5b^3$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5b^3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$6b^3-4b^2-5b^3=5b^3-5b^3$

$b^3-4b^2=0$

$Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:$ $if\:\mathrm ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$
