What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (-1, 2)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y = 2x</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

y -  y_1 = m(x -  x_1)

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (-1 , 2) and the slope is - 2

The equation of the line is

<h3>y - 2 =  - 2(x + 1) \\ y - 2 =  - 2x - 2 \\ y =  - 2x - 2 + 2</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>y = 2x</h3>

Hope this helps you

bryan has some 3 cent stamps and some 4 cent stamps. what is the least number of stamps he can combine so the value of the stamp
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The least number of stamps required is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of 3 cent stamps be x and 4 cent stamps be y

We have

3x+4y=33

The minimum number is obtained when more  4 cent stamps are used

Here y cannot be greater than 8 since \frac{33}{4}

Substitute y=8

3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=7

3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}

Not possible since x is not a fraction

Substitute y=6

3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9

  • ST = 23
  • RU = 8
  • SV = 5
  • SU = 10

====================================================

Explanation:

Focus on triangles SVT and UVT.

They are congruent triangles due to the fact that SV = VU and VT = VT. From there we can use the LL (leg leg) theorem for right triangles to prove them congruent.

Since the triangles are the same, just mirrored, this means ST = UT = 23.

-----------------------

Following similar reasoning as the previous section, we can prove triangle RVU = triangle RVS.

Therefore, RS = RU = 8

-----------------------

SV = VU = 5 because RT bisects SU.

Bisect means to cut in half. The two smaller pieces are equal.

-----------------------

SU = SV + VU = 5+5 = 10

Refer to the segment addition postulate.
