<u>Equation of a line</u>
A line can be represented by an equation of the form
Where x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line, b is the y-intercept and y is the dependent variable.
We need to find the equation of the line passing through the point (7,2) and is perpendicular to the line y=5x-2.
Two lines with slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular if:
The given line has a slope m1=5, thus the slope of our required line is:
The equation of the line now can be expressed as:
We need to find the value of b, which can be done by using the point (7,2):
Operating:
Multiplying by 5:
Operating:
Solving for b:
The equation of the line is:
Answer:
The area in factored form is .
The area in standard form is .
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is length times width.
So the area here is (x+2)(x-5).
They are probably not looking for A=(x+2)(x-5) because it requires too little work.
They probably want A in standard form instead of factored form.
Let's use foil:
First x(x)=x^2
Outer: x(-5)=-5x
Inner: 2(x)=2x
Last: 2(-5)=-10
---------------------Adding together: .
The area in factored form is .
The area in standard form is .
