A line intersects the points (3,-4) and (1,2) what is the slope intercept equation for this line

Mathematics

Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = - 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 2)

m = \frac{2+4}{1-3} = \frac{6}{-2} = - 3, thus

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (1, 2), then

2 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 3 = 5

y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line

svlad2 [7]
1) Distribute
2x + 28x + 21

2) Combine like terms
30x + 21

Since there are no more like terms, 30x and 21 cannot be combined. Therefore, the answer is 30x+ 21

Steve has a square patio with sides of length 9 feet. He plans to enlarge it to a rectangular patio by
Greeley [361]

Answer:

51ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Side of square patio= 9ft

Area= 9*9= 81 ft^2

New length = 9+3= 12ft

New Widht = 9+2= 11ft

New Area= 12*11

New Area= 132ft^2

Hence the area added is

=132-81

=51ft^2

#1.3 Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
tangare [24]
When we are looking for the mid point, we are looking for a point that is an equal distance from point R and S.

Since the x value has no change, we can ignore it.

For the y value, we want to simply find the difference between the points (7 - 1 = 6) and then divide that value by 2 (6 / 2 = 3).

You can then subtract that value from the higher Y value, where you will get 4.

Leaving you with the coordinate (3,4)

Hope this helped. There are definitely more ways you could find to solve this, but this works best for this problem.
