What is an equation in point slope form for the line that passes through the points (-1, 4) and (3, -4)

Mathematics

So the point-slope form looks like (y-y1) = m(x-x1)
So the first thing we should do is solve for m. We can do this using the slope formula (y1-y2)/(x1 - x2)

(-4 - 4)/(3 - -1) = -2

So our slope is -2. Then plug in any order pair for y1 and x2

So a possible solution is y - 4 = -2(x + 1)
Hopes this helps!

Answer:  p = 4, r = 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The equation of a circle is:   (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²     where

  • (h, k) is the center of the circle
  • r is the radius of the circle

Complete the square:

x² - 10x +  _____   +     y² + py + _____     = -13 + ___ + ___

x² - 10x  + <u> (-10/2)² </u> +     y² + py + <u> (p/2)²</u>     = -13 + <u> (-10/2)² </u> + <u> (p/2)²</u>        

                  (x - 5)²  +     (y + p/2)²                = -13 + 25 + (p/2)²

                        ↓                   ↓                          |_____<u>↓</u>_____|      

                      h = 5              k = -p/2                            r²

Given: (h, k) = (5, -2)

                                          -2 = -p/2

                                          -4 = -p

                                            4 = p

   r² =  -13 + 25 + (p/2)²

       = -13 + 25 + (4/2)²

       = -13 + 25 + 4

       = 16

\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{16}

  r  =  4

Answer:

y=-2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Perpendicular Bisector</u>

The bisector of a segment defined by points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) must pass by the midpoint of the segment.

The midpoint (xm,ym) is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}

The endpoints of the segment are (-3,-8) and (5,-4), thus the midpoint M is:

\displaystyle x_m=\frac{-3+5}{2}=1

\displaystyle y_m=\frac{-8-4}{2}=-6

Midpoint: M(1,-6)

Let's find the slope of the given segment. The slope can be calculated with the formula:

\displaystyle m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\displaystyle m_1=\frac{-4+8}{5+3}=\frac{1}{2}

If the bisector is also perpendicular, its slope m2 and the slope of the segment m1 must comply:

m_1.m_2=-1

Solving for m2:

\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}=-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=-2

Once we have the slope -2 and the point through which our line must pass (1,-6), we compute the equation in its point-slope form:

y-y_o=m(x-x_o)

y-(-6)=-2(x-1)

Operating

y+6=-2(x-1)

y+6=-2x+2

Rearranging

\boxed{y=-2x-4}

lara31 [8.8K]
You can simplify the fraction to get 2/5. If you convert this into a decimal you will get 0.4, so D is your answer.
