Point slope question

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mariulka [41]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: (y + 3) = -1/3 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form has the form of

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where

y1 is the y-value of a point on the line

x1 is the x-value of a point on the line

m is the slope of the line

The problem already gives a point on the line, (2, -3)

(y + 3) = m (x - 2)

Remember to put the opposite value of the x and y values. (In other words, do NOT write (y - 3) = m (x + 2) )

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of slope of the line it is perpendicular to. The perpendicular line given in the equation is

3x - y = 4

When rearranged to slope-intercept form, we get

y = 3x - 4

Meaning the slope of the perpendicular line is 3. The opposite reciprocal of positive three is negative one-third. Therefore, the slope of the line we are solving for is -1/3.

What is the distance between points  <br> (9, −7)<br> and  <br> (9, 4)<br> on a coordinate plane?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The answer would be 11 because the x's 9 doesnt have to move because they're on the same point. If you take 7 away from -7 you get zero. Add 4 to that 7 and you get 11. Make sesnse?

Last Saturday there were 1486 people at the Cineplex there were about the same number of people in each of six theaters between
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: The required two number will be 247 and 248.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people at the Cineplex  on last Saturday=1486

Number of theaters are there=6

Number of people in each theatres is given by

\frac{1486}{6}=247.66

So it must lie between 247 and 248.

As the number of people in each theatre is  247.66 so , it may be between 247 and 248.

So, the required two number will be 247 and 248.
