Y=mx+b is the equation of a linear function, which is what this question is asking.

since you have 2 points, you can use this equation for solve for "m", the slope

y2-y1/x2-x1

this would be 10-5/8-2 in this case, which is 5/4
you now have 5/4 as your slope
you can then take one of your points, and substitute in for the original y=mx+b equation
8 = 5/4 * 5  + b
8 = 25/4 + b                multiply the fractions together (multiply across)
32 = 25 + b     (multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction
7 = b         ( subtract 25 from both sides )

The length of the segment between the points $(2a, a-4)$ and $(4, -1)$ is $2\sqrt{10}$ units. What is the product of all possibl
True [87]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a segment is

sqrt( ( y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 - -1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

sqrt( ( a-4 +1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Combine like terms

sqrt( ( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)

Square each side

( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 4 *(10)

FOIL the left side

a^2 -6a +9   + 4a^2 -16a +16 = 40

Combine like terms

5a^2 -22a +25 = 40

Subtract 40 from each side

5a^2 -22a -15 =0

Factor

(a - 5) (5 a + 3) = 0

Using the zero product property

a-5 =0   5a +3 = 0

a = 5       5a = -3

a=5     a = -3/5

The product of the terms is

5 * -3/5 = -3

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

s=32

Step-by-step explanation:

15x-31 = 9x+11

6x=42

x=7

2(63+11)= 2(74)= 148

180-148=32

What is a rational number that is between 5.2 and 5.5
____ [38]
A rational number can be represented in a ratio of a/b.  

Therefore, 5.3 would be a rational number in between 5.2 and 5.5, as it can be represented as 53/10. 

Hope that helps!
