a line passes through the point (-3,-5) and has a slope of 5 write an equation in point slope form for this line

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

$y=5x+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Plug numbers into slope formula to find $b$ .

$y=mx+b$

$-5=5(-3)+b$

2) Simplify to find $b$ .

$-5=-15+b$

$10=b$

3) Check work.

$-5=-15+10$

This statement is true.

4) Write equation.

$y=5x+10$

NikAS [45]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number = 5 * 7 * 23.

5 * 7 = 35 must therefore also be a factor.

If we divide the number by 35 we get 23!.

Find P on AB that is 2/3 of the distance from A(-3,-5) to B(9,4).

Ludmilka [50]

A line segment can be divided into ratios.

The coordinate of P on line segment AB is (5,1)

Given

$A = (-3,-5)$

$B = (9,4)$

The position of P from A to B is:

$P_A = \frac 23$

So, from P to B would be:

$P_B =1 - \frac 23$

$P_B = \frac 13$

So, the ratio is:

$m : n = \frac 23 : \frac 13$

Simplify

$m : n = 2 :1$

The coordinate of point P is:

$P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

So, we have:

$P = (\frac{2 \times 9 + 1 \times -3}{2 + 1},\frac{2 \times 4 + 1 \times -5}{2 + 1})$

$P = (\frac{15}{3},\frac{3}{3})$

$P = (5,1)$

Hence, the coordinate of P is (5,1)
