A line passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5. What is the value of a if the point (a, 2) is also on the line?

(x1,y1) = (-2,7)
m = -5
(x,y) = (a,2)

Forming the equation,
(y-y1) = m(x-x1)
y - 7 = -5[x - (-2)]
y - 7 = -5x - 10
y + 5x = -3

Putting the values of (x,y) we get,
2 + 5a = -3
5a = -5
a = -1

Solve the equation (1 + x²)dy +xydx= 0

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$y=\frac{c}{\sqrt[]{x^2+1} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

(1 + x²)dy +xydx= 0

$(1+x^2)dy=-xydx\\\frac{1}{y}dy=\frac{-x}{x^2+1}dx\\$

Integrate both side

$lny=-\frac{1}{2} ln(x^2+1)+c\\y=\frac{c}{\sqrt[]{x^2+1} }$
