Find equation of straight line which

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The required equation is: y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{127}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:

y = mx+b

For writing equation of a line, slope and a point is needed from which the line passes.

In order to find the slope of line perpendicular to PQ, we have to find slope of PQ first.

Slope is denoted by m and given by the formula

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given points are:

P(-1, -4) and Q (7, 1)

Putting the values

m = \frac{1-(-4)}{7-(-1)}\\m = \frac{1+4}{7+1} = \frac{5}{8}

The product of slope of two pependicular lines is -1

Let m1 be the slope of line perpendicular to PQ

m.m_1 = -1\\\frac{5}{8}.m_1 = -1\\m_1 = \frac{8}{5} * -1\\m_1 = -\frac{8}{5}

Now for the point, we have to find the point that divides PQ in ratio 3:2

The formula is:

(x,y) = (\frac{nx_1+mx_2}{m+n} , \frac{ny_1+my_2}{m+n})\\

Here

m = 3

n= 2

Putting the values

(x,y) = (\frac{(2)(-1)+(3)(7)}{3+2} , \frac{(2)(-4)+(3)(1)}{3+2})\\= (\frac{-2+21}{5} , \frac{-8+3}{5})\\=(\frac{19}{5} , \frac{-5}{5})\\=(\frac{19}{5} , -1)

So we have to write equation of a line with slope -8/5 and passing through point (19/5, -1)

Putting the values in slope-intercept form

y = -\frac{8}{5}x +b

Putting the point in the equation

-1 = -\frac{8}{5} (\frac{19}{5}) + b\\-1 = -\frac{152}{25} + b\\b = -1+\frac{152}{25}\\b = \frac{-25+152}{25}\\b = \frac{127}{25}

Putting the value of b

y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{127}{25}

Hence,

The required equation is: y = -\frac{8}{5}x+\frac{127}{25}

Use algebraic rules of equations to predict the solution type to the system of equations. Include all of your work for full cred
Tasya [4]

y=-4-x

y=2x-1


-4-x=2x-1

3x=-3

x=-1

y=-3


The type of equation is consistent because they intersect at ( -1,-3 )

Can I please have the answers.
Brums [2.3K]

Question 22.). Write the equation in Standard Form:

10y = 12x + 0.7

Identify: A, B, C

Standard Form for Linear Equation: Ax + By = C

10y = 12x + 0.7

The Standard Form of the solution is

Ax + By = C, Where, A ≥ 0

A and B, are Non- Zero numbers.

Therefore, Your answer, Letter Choice, (D), 120x - 100y = - 7, Where,

A = 120, B = - 100, and C = - 7

Question 24.). Described as, Inconsistent, Consistent, and Independent, Consistent, and Dependent, or None of These.

9x - 8y = 15, and 27x - 24y = 3

Solve:

9x - 8y = 15; 27x - 24y = 3

Steps: I will try to solve the system of equation:

9x - 8y = 15; 27x - 24y = 3

Step, Solve: 9x - 8y = 15 for x

9x - 8y + 8y = 15 + 8y

Add 8y to both sides:

9x = 8y + 15

9x/9 = 8y + 15/9 ( Divide both sides by 9):

x = 8/9y + 5/3

Step Substitute:

8/9y + 5/3 for X in 27x - 24y = 3

27x - 24y = 3

27 ( 8/9y + 5/3) - 24y = 3

45 = 3

Simplify Both sides of equation:

45 + - 45 = 3 + - 45 ( Add - 45, to both sides.):

0 = - 42

Therefore, No real Solutions, to both Equation.

Hence; 9x - 8y = 15; and 27x - 24 = 3, have No Real Solutions, and Therefore, They are, Answer Letter Choice, (B), Inconsistent.

Hope that helps!!! Sorry, I couldn't figure out Number (23.). : )

Line RS bisects PQ at point R. Find RQ if PQ = 4 3/4
svetlana [45]
PQ is bisected by RS at R. It means that PRQ is a line segment with PR = RQ and each of half of PQ.

RQ = PQ/2  =  1/2 [ 4 3/4 ] = 1/2 * 19/4 = <em>19/8 </em> =  2 3/4

How might you use multiple reflections to describe a translation?
andre [41]

Answer:

from one language to another

Step-by-step explanation: or in math In Euclidean geometry, a translation is a geometric transformation that moves every point of a figure or a space by the same distance in a given direction. In Euclidean geometry a transformation is a one-to-one correspondence between two sets of points or a mapping from one plane to another.
