Answer:
(-1, -1) Let me know if the explanation didn't make sense.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we graph the three points we can see what looks like a quadrilateral's upper right portion, so we need a point in the lower left. This means M is only connected to N here and P is only connected to N. So we want to find the slope of these two lines.
MN is easy since their y values are the same, the slope is 0.
NP we just use the slope formula so (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-1-3)/(5-4) = -4.
So now we want a line from point M with a slope of -4 to intersect with a line from point P with a slope of 0. To find these lines weuse point slope form for those two points. The formula for point slope form is y - y1 = m(x-x1)
y-3 = -4(x+2) -> y = -4x-5
y+1 = 0(x-5) -> y = -1
So now we want these two to intersect. We just set them equal to each other.
-1 = -4x -5 -> -1 = x
So this gives us our x value. Now we can plug that into either function to find the y value. This is super easy of we use y = -1 because all y values in this are -1, so the point Q is (-1, -1)
Answer: x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(5) means to replace the x in the equation with 5.
f(5) = 8(5) - 3
f(5) = 40 - 3
f(5) = 37
Answer: y = 6 mi. .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Area of a triangle = (½) * (base) * (height) ;
or, A = (½) * b * h ; or, A = b*h / 2 ;
_____________________________________
Given: A = 24.3 mi ² ;
b = 8.1 mi
___________________
Find the height, "h" ; (in units of "miles", or , "mi" ).
__________________________
Plug in the known values into the formula:
24.3 mi ² = (½) * (8.1 mi) *(h) ;
_____________________________
Solve for "h" (height) ;
_____________________________
(½) * (8.1 mi) = 4.05 mi ;
______________________________
Rewrite:
____________________________
24.3 mi² = (4.05 mi) *(h) ; Solve for "h" ;
_________________________________________
Divide each side of the equation by "(4.05 mi)" ; to isolate "h" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "h" ;
__________________________________________
24.3 mi² / 4.05 mi = (4.05 mi) *(h) / 4.05 mi ;
→ 6 mi = h ; ↔ h = 6 mi.
→ h = y = 6 mi.
