Suppose a line has slope -2/3 and passes through the point (1, 8). which other point must also be on the graph?

<h3>Answer:   Choice A.   (7,4)</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

Use the slope and given point to find the y intercept

y = mx+b

8 = (-2/3)*(1) + b

8 = -2/3 + b

8 + 2/3 = b

24/3 + 2/3 = b

26/3 = b

b = 26/3

The equation of the line is y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

To confirm this, plug in x = 1 and we should get y = 8, due to the point (1,8)

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)*1 + 26/3

y = -2/3 + 26/3

y = (-2+26)/3

y = 24/3

y = 8

So that verifies we have the correct equation.

--------------

Next, go through each answer choice to see if the x coordinate of the point leads to the y coordinate.

If we try x = 7, then,

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)(7) + 26/3

y = -14/3 + 26/3

y = (-14+26)/3

y = 12/3

y = 4

This shows that (7,4) is on the line. Choice A is the answer

That rules out choice B.

----------------

If we tried x = -5, then,

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)(-5) + 26/3

y = 10/3 + 26/3

y = 36/3

y = 12

meaning that (-5,12) is on the line. That rules out choices C and D.

Refer to the graph below. It visually confirms that of the four answer choices, only point A is on the line. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

The concept and full method
marin [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This kinda looks like the limiting definition of a derivative.  

Anyway, what we are doing with the f(2 + h) is evaluating f(x) with 2+h in place for x.  That looks like this:

f(2 + h) = 2(2 + h) - 3 which simplifies to

f(2 + h) = 4 + 2h - 3 which simplifies to

2h + 1

From that we are subtracting f(2).  What we are doing with that is evaluating f(x) with 2 in place for x.  That looks like this:

f(2) = 2(2) - 3 which simplifies to

f(2) = 4 - 3 which simplifies to

f(2) = 1.  Now put those together over h to get:

\frac{f(2+h)-f(2)}{h}=\frac{2h+1-1}{h}=\frac{2h}{h}=2

Find the area of the composite figure will give extra 100 points out if answer is right and brainlyst
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Decompose the figure into two rectangles and add the areas.

Find the area of the entire rectangle and of the removed corner and subtract the areas.

Decompose the figure into three rectangles and add the areas.

Step-by-step explanation:

With all of these you can actually calculate the area of the composite figure, some of them are more easy and efficient than the other, for example dividing the composite area into three rectangles is not very efficient but will do the job, and the one where you decompose the area into two rectangles would be the best one, as well as the one where you find the area of the larger rectangle and the subtract from that the rectangle that is taken off in the right corner.
