A line passes through point (-2, 5) and has a slope of 2/3. Points A(x, 3) and B(-2, y) lie on the line. The value of x is____,

and the value of y is _____.
Please help I've seen this problem on this website before but no one actually answered I know it's probably very simple to get the answer but I don't know how could someone tell me how to or answer it please thanks?

Use the equation y = mx +c
y = 2/3x +c              Substitute the slope (m) in
5 = 2/3(-2) +c          Substitute the point (-2,5)
5 = -4/3 +c               Make C the subject
c = 19/3

y = 2/3x + 19/3        This is the equation of the line.

Next you start subbing the points A and B in separately, using the same equation.

Subbing A(x, 3)
3       = 2/3x + 19/3         Make x the subject to find it.
-10/3 = 2/3x
     -5 = x

The point A is (-5,3)

Subbing B(-2, y)
y = 2/3(-2) + 19/3           y is already the subject and you just solve it
   = -4/3 + 19/3
y = 5

The point B is (-2, 5)

Knowing that this number, the Golden Ratio, is present not just in mathematics, but may also be present within your own brain an
pychu [463]

The Golden Ratio is a mathematical relationship that exists in art, shapes, nature and the human body. The golden ratio can be present in your body, from the length of your arms and legs when compared to your torso. Fingers is another example because the length of our fingers, each section from the tip of the base to the wrist is larger than the preceding.

The measurement of the human navel to the floor and to the top of the head to the navel is also the Golden ratio. Plastic surgeons and dental surgeons use it to reconstruct the human face. It also appears in everything around us like in the nature and science. It appears on in flower petals because it is believed that each petal is placed to so that each petal gets the best exposure to sunlight. Dolphins, starfish, sea urchins and honeybees also exhibit the proportion like humans. DNA molecules measures 34 angstroms by 21 angstroms at each full cycle of the double helix spiral, these two number are successive numbers. I think that the Golden Ratio is just a freak coincidence that happened.

Write an equation of the form y=a sin bx or y= a cos bx to describe the graph below.
kakasveta [241]

we conclude that the graphed equation is:

y = 4*cos(pi*x)

<h3></h3><h3>Which trigonometric equation is the one in the graph?</h3>

First, we can see that the graphed function is even, so we know that it wiill be a cosine.

We also can see that the maximum is 4 and the minimum is -4, so the amplitude is 4.

Then we have something like:

y = 4*cos(b*x)

To find the value of b, we can use the fact that the zeros of the function are at x = ±1/2

Then:

b*1/2 = pi/2

b = pi

Finally, we conclude that the graphed equation is:

y = 4*cos(pi*x)

How to know if a problem is permutation or combination?
vredina [299]
If the order matters it is a permutation. For example: if you are selecting 3 people to be on a committee it doesn't matter what order you select them, but if you're selecting three people to be president, vice president, and secretary the order in which you choose them matters the first person being president, the second person being vice president, and the third person be secretary
