Answer:

AB = 13 + 13 = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint, we know that AM = MB

Thus,

3x-8 = 2x-1

-2x -2x

x - 8 = -1

+ 8 +8

x = 7

The AM = 3(7) - 8 = 13

The MB = 2(7) - 1 = 13

The length of AB = AM + MB which is AB = 13 + 13 = 26

Write a equation of the lines passes through the given points (-2,7) (1,1) the equation is?

vredina [299]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

m - slope

(x₁, y₁) - point

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-2, 7) and (1, 1). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{1-7}{1-(-2)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2$

$y-7=-2(x-(-2))\\\\\boxed{y-7=-2(x+2)}$ point-slope form

$\boxed{y=-2x+3}$ slope-intercept form

$\boxed{2x+y=3}$ standard form
