Mathematics

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}

3x^2+7x+3<br> + 5x^2+12x
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

8x^2+19x

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression by combining like terms. Terms which look a like and sound a like should be added together.

3x^2+7x+3+5x^2+12x

x^2 terms: 3x^2+5x^2=8x^2

x terms: 7x+12x=19x

constants: 3

Together is is 8x^2+19x+3.

HELP WITH MATH!! RLLY COULD USE IT
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

120 square units

Step-by-step explanation:To find the area you do length times hight or l x h. If you want you can also make the triangle and move it to the other side to create a square if thats helps :) but you always do LxH for area :)
