Find the value of r so the line that passes through each pair of points has the given slope. (r, 2), (5, r), m = 0

8 0

To find the slope given two points, just solve the equation (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=m. So (2-r)/(r-5)=0. To get the slope to be 0, you need only the numerator to be 0 (if the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined).

So 2-r=0, and r=2.

Answer: r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line passes through each pair of points, (r, 2), (5, r)

Slope, m = 0

From the points, (r, 2), (5, r) given,

Slope, m = (change in value of y)/ (change in value of x)

For (r, 2), y1 (initial value of y) = 2

x1 (initial value of x ) = r

For (5, r), y2 (final value of y) = r

x2 (final value of x ) = 5

Slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2- x1)= (r-2) /( 5-r)

From the question, slope = 0

Therefore,

0 = (r-2) /( 5-r)

Cross multiplying,

r-2 = 0(5-r)

r-2 =0

r = 0+2 = 2

So the pair of points through which the line passes = (2, 2), (5, 2) with slope, m = 0

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you solve a word problem, our first step is to read and gather the information we find.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

After reading the question, I am going to highlight or bold the contexts that are important to our problem-solving.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

First, let's understand that slope-intercept equation is in the form of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

After reading the context, what do we know?

a slope of 1/4
a line passes through (-8,-1)
write in slope-intercept form

We finally have the information — our first step is to write our slope-intercept equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = mx + b}$

We know that m is slope which is 1/4 — substitute in the equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + b}$

We have used the two information which are a slope of 1/4 and slope-intercept equation.

That only leaves to one information which is a line that passes through (-8,-1).

Since the graph has to pass through the point, we substitute x = -8 and y = -1.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= \frac{1}{4} ( - 8)+ b}$

After using all information, it seems that we are solving for b-term or y-intercept.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= \frac{1}{1} ( - 2)+ b}$

From above — cross-division.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= 1( - 2)+ b} \\ \displaystyle \large{ - 1= - 2+ b}$

Add both sides by 2 to isolate b-term.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1 + 2= - 2 + 2+ b} \\ \displaystyle \large{ 1= b}$

Therefore, the value of b is 1. From the equation:

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + b}$

Substitute b = 1 in the equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1}$

And we're done!

Given that X={whole numbers less than 24}

hodyreva [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

X= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23}

P= {2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23}

Q= {2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22}

a= {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,16,17,18,19,20,22,23}

b= {2,}

c= we first find p'

p'={1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,22}

c={4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22}

d=we do same here but we already have p' so we find for q'

q'={1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,22}

d={1,4,6,8,9,10,12,14,15,16,18,20,21,22}

Anjeli writes the equation (a+b)2=c2+4(12ab) to begin a proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Use the drop-down menus to explain why

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}$

Red area = $c^{2}$

One blue triangle = ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ )

Blue area = 4 * ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ )

Totally area = $(a+b)^{2}$

Red area + blue area = totally area

$c^{2}$ + 4 * ( a * b * $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $(a+b)^{2}$
