Answer:
The slope of a line that includes the points (4, -2) and (5, 0) is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form of the equation of a line where m is the slope of a line.
The line must include the points (4, -2) and (5, 0). So, being:
- (x,y)= (4,-2)
- (x1,y1)= (5, 0)
and replacing in the point-slope form of the equation of a line:
-2-0=m(4-5)
You solve the equation for m and get:
-2=m*(-1)
m=2

Remember how the tangent function is defined as
Now where exactly are the vertical assymptotes? Well, where cosx = 0, because anything over 0 is undefined, and where a value is undefined, you are required to draw a vertical assymptote.
Now where exactly are the x interecepts? Well, where sinx = 0, because remember, an x-intercept is where y = 0, or where it crosses the x-axis, meaning where the tangent function is equal to 0.
So the x-intercepts are at where sinx = 0.
There are many ways to check if the point (1,3) is a solution to the linear equation .
Let us check it by expressing y in terms of x.
The given expression is 5x-9y=32. If we add -5x to both sides we will get:
Multiplying both sides by -1 we will get:
In order to isolate y, we will divide both sides by 9 to get:
Now let us plug in the given value of x=1 from the point (1,3). This should give us y=3. Let us see if we get y=3 when we plug x=1 in the above equation.
Thus, we see that when x=1, y=-3 and that and hence we conclude that the point (1,3) is not a solution to the original given linear equation 5x-9y=32.
For a better understanding of the explanation given here a graph has been attached. As can be seen from the graph, (1,3) does not lie on the straight line that represents 5x-9y=32, but (1,-3) does lie on it as we had just found out.
