Find equation of straight line which

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]2 years ago

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}

Ixl b.5 additive property of length
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The length of segment SU is 16.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

  • T is a point on the line segment SU
  • That means T divides SU segment into two parts ST and TU
  • SU = ST + TU

Let us use this equation to solve the question

∵ The length of ST is 10.6 units

∵ The length of TU is 6.2 units

→ Substitute them in the equation above

∴ SU = 10.6 + 6.2

∵ .6 + .2 = .8

∵ 10 + 6 = 16

∴ 10.6 + 6.2 = 16.8

∴ SU = 16.8 units

The length of segment SU is 16.8 units

A ship is 2.2° off course. If the ship is traveling at 18.0 miles per hour, how far off course will it be after 5 hours?

___x____
\             |
  \           |
     \        |   y
 18  \      |
         \    |
           \ *|---2.2 °

This is a vector problem. The distance of drift is in x (horizontal axis). 
remember that Sin Ф=opposite/hypotenuse. x represents the opposite side form the angle, and 18 is the hypotenuse.
Sin 2.2°=x/18
18 sin 2.2°=x
.691 ≈x

The ship drifts off course .691 miles every hour. .691 x 5 = 5.69 miles after 5 hours.

Can someone look at the pic at tell me if Im doing this correctly? I got x=14 ty
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Set up an equation

4x + 15 + 39 = 110

→ Simplify

4x + 54 = 110

→ Minus 54 from both sides

4x = 56

→ Divide both sides by 3

x = 14
