What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

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 ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = \frac{5-3}{4-5} = \frac{2}{-1} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

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

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

An Elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 5m/min. If the descend starts from 15m above the ground, how long will it
zhenek [66]
First of all, assuming that the "ground level" is 0; 

The lift is not starting from 0, so we also need to account for the extra 15 meters above the ground the lift is. 

The total distance the lift would cover in the downward direction: 15+350=365m

Now, you know that the lift covers 5 m/min

Therefore, 5x=365 (ignoring units because they can complicate things) 

x=365/5 
x=73 minutes 

Therefore, they would take 73 minutes to reach 350 m deep into the ground with a starting position 15 m above the ground. 

Hope I helped :)

What is the answer to this problem- <br> (a-3b+5)-(-a+2b+3)
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

\displaystyle 2 - 5b + 2a

Step-by-step explanation:

To avoid confusion, distribute that negative amongst all terms in the second set of parentheses:

\displaystyle 2a - 5b + 2 = (a - 3b + 5) - (-a + 2b + 3)

** The above answer is written in reverse, which is the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
