Answer:

y+1=3(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a slope of 3 and a point (4,-1).

We need to find the equation of the line in point-slope form

Point-slope form is given as y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point

We have all of the needed information to substitute into the formula

First, let's label the values of everything to avoid any confusion

m=3

x1=4

y1=-1

now substitute into the formula *remember, the formula has SUBTRACTION, and we have a NEGATIVE number, so we'll end up subtracting a negative*

y--1=3(x-4)

simplify

y+1=3(x-4)

That's it!

Hope this helps :)

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

The given line has slope,

and

We can find the equation in the point slope form, which is given by,

We substitute the point and slope to get,

We can also simplify further to get,

We make y the subject to get,

This is called the slope intercept form.

We could also write in standard form to get

Allen has a photo that is 6 in by 8 in. What will the dimensions of the photo be if he scales it down by a factor of one-half ?

Mice21 [21]

To solve this divide the length and width of the photo by 2. Your new dimensions should be 3in x 4in.

Answer:

A. Trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

It says it's a polynomial and that based on the number of terms. So right then you can cancel out cubic and quadratic because they aren't polynomials. Also:

Cubic is just a variable with the exponent of 3. Examples:

$x^3,y^3,z^3$

Binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms. Examples:

$5x+3; 6x+2; x+7$

A quadratic has a division sign.

Write equations for the horizontal and vertical lines passing through the point (-2,-5).

erastova [34]

Answer:

y = -5
x = - 2

=============================

The horizontal line has same y- coordinate for each x- coordinate, and is parallel to the x-axis so it is:

y = - 5

The vertical line has same x- coordinate for each y- coordinate, and is parallel to the y-axis so it is:

x = - 2
