What is the equation of (0,2) and (3,0)

1 answer:

8 0

Let's first find the slope. This is (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1), where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points.

For this problem, our slope is (0 - 2)/(3 - 0) = -2/3.

We can now use the point-slope formula to find the equation of our line:
(y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)
(y - 2) = -2/3(x - 0)
y - 2 = (-2/3)x
y = (-2/3)x + 2

The equation of our line is $\boxed{y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2}$ .

John's dog Fido is tied to a post in his backyard. Fido's leash is 8.5 feet long. Determine how much circular roaming area Fido

ira [324]

Answer:

227 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are tasked with calculating the roaming area that Fido has

Calculating this is same as calculating the area of circle that has a radius which is equal to the length of the leash

Mathematically, the area would be

A = π * r^2

A = 3.14 * 8.5^2

A = 226.865 ft^2

To the nearest square foot, this is 227 ft^2

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 miles and a speed of 500 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rat

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing is 331 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing by imaging the formation of a right triangle with the following dimensions:

a: is one side of the triangle = altitude of the plane = 3 miles

b: is the other side of the triangle = the distance traveled by the plane when it is 4 miles away from the station and an altitude of 3 miles

h: is the hypotenuse of the triangle = distance between the plane and the station = 4 miles

First, we need to find b:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = h^{2}$ (1)
