Write an equation in point-slope form of the line through these given points.I need separate answers for each problem, thx
1 answer:
I like point point form because it doesn't fail in the no slope case. The line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b) = (d-b)(x-a)
Point slope form is almost the same,
1. (a,b)=(4,0),(c,d)=(-2,1)
y - 0 = (1 - 0)/(-2 - 4) (x - 4)
Answer: y = (-1/6)(x-4)
2.
y - -2 = (3 - -2)/(5 - -3) (x - -3)
Answer: y + 2 = (5/8) (x+3)
3.
y - 1 = (4 - 1)/(3 - -5) (x - -5)
Answer: y - 1 = (3/8) (x+5)

Recall that a rational function:
has a vertical asymptote at x₀ if and only if:
Also, the roots of the above rational function are the same as P(x).
Since the rational function has a vertical asymptote at x=-1, we get that its denominator must be:
Since the rational function has a double zero at x=2 we get that its numerator must be of the form:
Finally, since the rational function has y-intercept at (0,2) we get that:
Simplifying the above equation we get:
Dividing the above equation by 4 we get:
Therefore, the rational function that satisfies the given conditions is:
Answer:
The numerator is:
The denominator is:
