The point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math 2x+5y=-15\\\end{minispace}} i.e., \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option C\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

It is given that line passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7).

The objective is to determine the point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7).

The options given are as follows:

Option A: 2x-5y=-15

Option B: 2x-5y=-17

Option C: 2x+5y=-15

Option D: 2x+5y=-17

Consider the point (-5,-1) as (x_{1},y_{1}) and (10,-7) as (x_{2},y_{2}).

Slope of a curve is defined as the change in the value of y with respect to change in value of x.

The slope of the line is calculated as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}

To obtain the value of slope substitute the value of x_{1},y_{1},x_{2},y_{2} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}\\&=\dfrac{-6}{15}\\&=\dfrac{-2}{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the slope of the line is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{-2}{5}\\\end{minispace}}

The general way to express the equation of a line in its point slope form is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}

To obtain the point slope form of the equation of the line substitute the value of m, x_{1} and y_{1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}(y-(-1))&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x-(-5))\\(y+1)&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x+5)\\5y+5&=-2x-10\\5y+2x&=-15\end{aligned}

From the above calculation it is concluded that the point slope form the equation of a line is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math 5y+2x=-15\\\end{minispace}}

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function 5y+2x=-15.

This implies that the correct option for the point slope form of the line is option C.

Therefore, the point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7) is 2x+5y=-15 i.e., option C.

The plans for a rectangular deck call for the width to be 10 feet less than the length. Sam wants the deck to have an overall pe
sergeinik [125]

Length of deck is 40 feet

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Sam wants the deck to have an overall perimeter of 60 feet

Perimeter of rectangular deck = 60 feet

Let "L" be the length of rectangle and "W" be the width of rectangle

Given that plans for a rectangular deck call for the width to be 10 feet less than the length

Width = length - 10

W = L - 10  ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

Substituting the known values we get,

60 = 2(L + L - 10)

60 = 2(2L - 10)

60 = 4L - 20

80 = 4L

L = 20

Thus the length of deck is 20 feet
