Write an equation in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form.

Mathematics

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

The formula of a slope:

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

We have the points (1, -5) and (-3, -7). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{7-(-5)}{-3-1}=\dfrac{12}{-4}=-3\\\\y-(-7)=-3(x-(-3))\\\\\boxed{y+7=-3(x+3)}

Rewrite to the slope-intercept form:

y+7=-3(x+3)           <em>use distributive property</em>

y+7=-3x-9       <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>

\boxed{y=-3x-16}

Set up and evaluate the optimization problems. (Enter your answers as comma-separated lists.) Find two positive integers such th
alexira [117]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be two positive integers and their sum is 14:

X + y = 14

And the sum of square of this number is:

f = x2 + y2

 = x2+ (14 – x)2

Differentiate with respect to x, we get:

F’(x) = [ x2 + (14 – x)2]’ = 0

        2x + 2(14-x)(-1) = 0

        2x +( 28 – 2x)(-1) = 0

     2x – 28 +2x = 0

        2x + 2x = 28

         4x = 28

       X = 7

Hence, y = 14 – x = 14 -7 = 7

Now taking second derivative test:

F”(x) > 0

For x = y = 7,f reaches its maximum value:

(7)2 + (7)2 = 49 + 49

                   = 98

F at endpoints x Є [ 0, 14]

F(0) = 02 + (14 – 0)2

       =  196

F(14) = (14)2 + (14 – 14)2

  = 196

Hence the sum of squares of these numbers is minimum when x = y = 7

And maximum when numbers are 0 and 14.

Add 16 and 13 and 5 then after you got your total count up to 75 use a paper to help you solve then the amount you counted up to will be the amount of the cost of the video game
