Answer:

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from (1,6) to (4, -2) involves an increase of 3 in x and a decrease of 8 in y.  Thus, the slope of the line thru these two points is m = rise / run = -8/3.

Using the slope-intercept form of the eq'n of a straight line  and inserting the data given (slope = m = -8/3, x = 4,  y = -2), we get:

y = mx + b => -2 = (-8/3)(4) + b, or  -2 = -32/3 + b

Multiply all terms by 3 to clear out the fraction:

-6 = -32 + 3b.

Then 26 = 3b, and b = 26/3.

The desired equation is y = (-8/3)x + 26/3.

The height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base. if the area of the triangle is 30 ft^ what is the lentgh of the base
Dmitriy789 [7]
Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus  x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12
