What is the equation of the line that passes through 1,4 and 2,1

Mathematics
1 answer:
sashaice [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line

y = mx + c

y - intercept point y

m - slope of the line

x - intercept point x

c - intercept point of the line

Step 1: find the slope

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given two points

( 1 , 4) ( 2 , 1)

x1 = 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 2

y2 = 1

insert the values

m = 1 - 4 / 2 - 1

m = -3/1

m = -3

y = -3x + c

Step 2: substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line

y = -3x + c

( 1 ,4)

x = 1

y = 4

4 = -3(1) + c

4 = -3 + c

4 + 3 = c

c = 7

Step 3: sub c into the equation

y = -3x + 7

The equation of the line is

y = -3x + 7

For the function f(x) = 7/2x-16, what is the difference quotient for all nonzero values of h?
sergey [27]

Answer:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16

Required

The difference quotient for h

The difference quotient is calculated as:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h}

Calculate f(x + h)

f(x) = \frac{7}{2}x - 16

f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}(x+h) - 16

f(x+h) = \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16

The numerator of \frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} is:

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -(\frac{7}{2}x - 16)

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x+ \frac{7}{2}h- 16 -\frac{7}{2}x + 16

Collect like terms

f(x + h) - f(x) =  \frac{7}{2}x  -\frac{7}{2}x + \frac{7}{2}h- 16 + 16

f(x + h) - f(x) = \frac{7}{2}h

So, we have:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h \div h

Rewrite as:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}h * \frac{1}{h}

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{ h} = \frac{7}{2}
