Write an equation in point-slope form for the line through the given point with the given slope

Mathematics

Point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)             "m" is the slope


Since you know:

m = -2/5

(x₁ , y₁) = (-3, -5)

Plug it into the equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)    

y - (-5) = -2/5(x - (-3))

y + 5 = -2/5(x + 3)

The coordinates of points M,N, and P are ....
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

(-1, -1) Let me know if the explanation didn't make sense.  

Step-by-step explanation:

If we graph the three points we can see what looks like a quadrilateral's upper right portion, so we need a point in the lower left.  This means M is only connected to N here and P is only connected to N.  So we want to find the slope of these two lines.

MN is easy since their y values are the same, the slope is 0.

NP we just use the slope formula so (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-1-3)/(5-4) = -4.

So now we want a line from point M with a slope of -4 to intersect with a line from point P with a slope of 0.  To find these lines  weuse point slope form  for those two points.  The formula for point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y-3 = -4(x+2) -> y = -4x-5

y+1 = 0(x-5) -> y = -1

So now we want these two to intersect.  We just set them equal to each other.

-1 = -4x -5 -> -1 = x

So this gives us our x value.  Now we can plug that into either function to find the y value.  This is super easy of we use y = -1 because all y values in this are -1, so the point Q is (-1, -1)

Suppose it takes John 18 minutes to run 3 miles. How long would it take him to run 7 kilometers? round to the nearest minute
alex41 [277]

Answer: 26 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 mi * 1.609 km/1 mi = 4.82 km

4.82 km/ 18 minutes = 7 km/ x minutes

4.82x=18*7

x=126/4.82

x=26.14 ~ 26 Minutes
