Point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

You need to find "m" which is the slope.

To do so, use the slope formula and plug in the two points:


m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=\frac{7-(-5)}{-3-1}  

m=\frac{7+5}{-3-1} =\frac{12}{-4} =-3


m = -3

(x₁ , y₁) = (1, -5)

Plug this into the equation:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-5) = -3(x - 1)

y + 5 = -3(x - 1)      



Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b       "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept


In order to get the equation from point-slope form to slope-intercept form, isolate/get the "y" by itself.

y + 5 = -3(x - 1)   First distribute/multiply -3 into (x - 1)

y + 5 = -3x + 3      Subtract 5 on both sides

y = -3x - 2

arlik [135]
X + y = 20---- 1
x - y = 8----- 2

From 1+2
2x = 28
x = 14
Substitute x in eq.2
14 -y = 8
y = 6

Ans : x= 14 , y= 6

I don't get this I need help
Finger [1]
In this question, you are given the volume of cylinder (24\pi cubic unit) and the ratio of the height:radius (3:1). Putting it into equation, it will look like this:
volume= 24\pi cubic unit
height = 3 radius
radius = 1/3 height

Using the volume formula of cylinder you will got the height
Volume=  \pi * radius * radius * height
24\pi cubic unit = \pi  *(1/3 height) * (1/3 height) * height
24\pi cubic unit / \pi  = 1/9 height cubic 
1/9 height cubic = 24 cubic unit
height cubic = 24*9= 216 cubic unit
height=∛216 cubic unit= 6 unit
