Write the equation of the line in Point-Slope Form

katrin [286]

17.

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have slope=m=8, and the point (-5, -3). Substitute:

$y-(-3)=8(x-(-5))\\\\\boxed{y+3=8(x+5)}$

18.

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (3, 4) and (15, 10). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{10-4}{15-3}=\dfrac{6}{12}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

The point-slope form:

$\boxed{y-4=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-3)}$

or

$\boxed{y-10=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-15)}$

For what values of x is log base 0.8 (x+4)>log base 0.4 (x+4)<br>Thank you!

Radda [10]

We are seeking the solution of the inequality:

$\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(x+4)\ \textgreater \ \log_{0.4}(x+4)$ .

We recall that a log function $f(x)=\log_b(x)$ is either increasing or decreasing:

i) it is increasing if b>1,

ii) it is decreasing if 0<b<1.

Consider the functions $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(x)$ and $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.4}(x)$ .

The graphs of these functions both meet at x=1 (clearly), and after 1 they are both negative. So from 0 to 1 one of them is larger for all x, and from 1 to infinity the other is larger. (Being strictly decreasing, their graphs can only intersect once.)

We can check for a certain convenient point, for example x=0.8:

$\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(0.8)=1$ and

$\displaystyle{ \log_{0.4}(0.8)=\log_{0.4}(0.4\cdot 2)=\log_{0.4}(0.4)+\log_{0.4}(\cdot 2)=1+\log_{0.4}(2)$ .

Now, $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.4}(2)$ is negative since we already explained that for x>1 both functions were negative. This means that

$\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(0.8)\ \textgreater \ \log_{0.4}(0.8)$ , and since $0.8\in (0, 1)$ , then this is the interval where $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(x)\ \textgreater \ \log_{0.4}(x)$ .

So, now considering the functions $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.8}(x+4)$ and $\displaystyle{ \log_{0.4}(x+4)$ , we see that

x+4 must be in the interval (0,1), so we solve:

0<x+4<1, which yields -4<x<-3 after we subtract by 4.

Answer: (-4, -3). Attached is the graph generated using Desmos.
