What equation represents the line that passes through points (1.-5) and (3 -17)?

ALL LINES CAN BE REPRESENTED IN THE FORM f(x) = ax+b.

We know that:

f(1) = -5 \implies a\cdot(1)+b = -5 \implies a+b = -5

and

f(3) = -17 \implies a\cdot(3) +b = -17 \implies 3a+b = 17

Observe that:

3a+b = 2a+a+b = 2a+(a+b)

So:

2a+(a+b) =-17

But we know that a+b = -5, so:

2a+(a+b) =-17

2a+(-5) = -17

2a = -12

a = -6

Since:

a+b = -5

(-6)+b = -5

b = 1

So the line is:

f(x) = 1-6x

The area of the circle shown below is 100π. What is the diameter (D) of the circle?
Phoenix [80]
\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\
A=\pi r^2~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
A=100\pi 
\end{cases}\implies 100\pi =\pi r^2
\\\\\\
\cfrac{100\pi }{\pi }=r^2\implies 100=r^2\implies \sqrt{100}=r\implies \boxed{10=r}

since a diameter is twice as long as the radius, this one is also 2r.

A cyclist completes a journey of 500 m in 22 seconds, part of the way at 10 m/s and the remainder at 50 m/s. How far does she tr
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

150 m at 10 m/s

350 m at 50 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 500

x/10 + y/50 = 22

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

x + y = 500

5x  + y  = 1100

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

x + y = 500

-5x  - y  = -1100

-4x = -600

x = 150

y = 350
