What is the equation of the line that contains point(3, -2) and has a slope of 5?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

y = 5x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c

m = the gradient/slope = 5

y = 5x + c

Substitute (3, -2) into the equation above to find c.

-2 = 5(3) + c

-2 = 15 + c

-2 - 15 = c

-17 = c

y = 5x - 17

Please help <br><br>problem 3 and 4<br>show work<br><br>find the value of x, y and z​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle create two smaller triangles, all of which are similar to the original. This means corresponding sides are proportional.

3. Using the above relationship, ...

short-side/hypotenuse = 8/y = y/(8+23)

y^2 = 8·31

y = 2√62

__

long-side/hypotenuse = z/(8+23) = 23/z

z^2 = 23·31

z = √713

__

short-side/long-side = 8/x = x/23

x^2 = 8·23

x = 2√46

_____

4. The picture is fuzzy, but we think the lengths are 25 and 5. If they're something else, use the appropriate numbers. Using the same relations we used for problem 3,

y = √(5·25) = 5√5 . . . . . . . = √(short segment × hypotenuse)

z = √(20·25) = 10√5 . . . . . = √(long segment × hypotenuse)

x = √(5·20) = 10 . . . . . . . . . = √(short segment × long segment)
