What is the equation of the line which

Mathematics
1 answer:
natka813 [3]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The equation of the line is y = (-1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1 }

First of all, have to find gradient using the formula above :

(2,4) & (14,-2)

m = (-2-4) / (14-2)

= -6 / 12

= -1/2

Second, using y = mx + b as b is a constant and is a y-intercept. Using any of these 2 coordinates to find the value of b with given gradient :

y = mx + b

Let y=4 & x=2

4 = (-1/2)(2) + b

b = 4 + 1

= 5

Lastly, put the value of gradient and y-intercept into the equation :

y = mx + b

Let m=-1/2 & b=5

y = (-1/2)x + 5

What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if each of the two legs is 7 units?
Katyanochek1 [597]

To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean theorem. (a² + b² = c²) Using the measurements provided we can solve like this.


Both a² & b² = 7²


7 x 7 = 49


49 + 49 = 98


Now we need to find the square root of 98 (c²) to get our answer.


9.9 x 9.9 = 98.01 or about 98


The measurements for the tirangle are 7 units, 7 units, and 9.9 units.


Hope this helps!

aliya0001 [1]

9 games equals 36 percent of x number of total games.

9=(36/100)x

Multiply both sides by (100/36) to isolate x.

9*(100/36)=x

x=25 total games

Express x2- 8x + 5 in the form (x -a)2-b where a and b are integers.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

(x - 4)² - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x + 5

To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square.

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 8x

= x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 + 5

= (x - 4)² - 11
