Answer:

x + 5y = 7 or y = -⅕x + 1⅖

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of change</em> [<em>slope</em>]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

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

Then use the Point-Slope Formula since we are given points. Now, according to this formula, all negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY careful inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. It does not matter which one you choose:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 1 = -⅕(x - 2)

y - 1 = -⅕x + ⅖

+ 1 + 1

_______________

y = -⅕x + 1⅖ >> Line in <em>Slope-Intercept Form</em>

Since this exercise wants it in <em>Standard Form</em>:

y = -⅕x + 1⅖

+⅕x +⅕x

___________

⅕x + y = 1⅖ [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equations, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

5[⅕x + y = 1⅖]

x + 5y = 7 >> Line in <em>Standard Form</em>

__________________________________________________________

y - 2 = -⅕(x + 3)

y - 2 = -⅕x - ⅗

+ 2 + 2

______________

y = -⅕x + 1⅖ >> Line in <em>Slope-Intercept</em><em> </em><em>Form</em>

y = -⅕x + 1⅖

+⅕x +⅕x

___________

⅕x + y = 1⅖ [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equations, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

5[⅕x + y = 1⅖]

x + 5y = 7 >> Line in <em>Standard Form</em>

** You see? I told you that it would not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will always get the exact same result!!!

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = –2x + 5 and contains the point
ivann1987 [24]

The given equation is: y+2x=5

To find the line perpendicular to it, we interchange coefficients and switch the signs of one coefficient.

The equation to a line perpendicular to it is:

$ 2y-x=c$

where, $c$ is some constant we have determine using the condition given.

It passes through $(2,-1)$

Put the point in our equation:

$2(-1)-(2)=c$

$c=-2-2$

$c=-4$

The final equation is:

$\boxed{ 2y-x=-4}$

A jar contains, cardinal and
natulia [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

ince the only colors are white, green, yellow, red, and purple, we can see that NOT getting red or purple is the same as GETTING white, green or yellow

So, P(NOT getting red or purple) = P(GETTING white, green or yellow)

There are 60 jellybeans in total.

Number of jellybeans that are white, green or yellow = 22 + 18 + 11 = 51

So, P(GETTING white, green or yellow) = 51/60

= 17/20

= 0.85
