Answer:

By multiplying the run by the slope, we get the rise value

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically. we have

slope = rise/run

Now, given that we know the run and we have the value of the slope, how can we get the rise

To get the rise, we simply have to multiply the run by the value of the slope

Hence, multiplying the run by the value of the slope will give the value of the vertical distance which is the rise

Write an equation (a) in slope-intercept form and (b) in standard form for the line passing through (-3,5) and parallel to x + 4

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Standard-form :x + 4y -17=0 }\\$

$\boxed{\sf Slope-intercept\ form :y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here a equation of the line is given to us and we need to find out the equation of line which passes through the given point and parallel to the given line , the given equation is ,

$\longrightarrow x + 4y = 7\\$

Firstly convert it into <em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em>p</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em> </em>of the line which is <u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u>, as ;

$\longrightarrow 4y = -x + 7 \\$

$\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-x}{4}+\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

On comparing it to <em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em> </em>, we have ,

$\longrightarrow m =\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

$\longrightarrow c =\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

Now as we know that the <em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>w</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>p</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em> </em>. Therefore the slope of the parallel line will be ,

$\longrightarrow m_{||)}=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

Now we may use <em>p</em><em>o</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em> </em>of the line as ,

$\longrightarrow y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) \\$

On substituting the respective values ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 =\dfrac{-1}{4}\{ x -(-3)\}\\$

$\longrightarrow y -5=\dfrac{-1}{4}(x+3)\\$

$\longrightarrow 4(y -5 ) =-1(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow 4y -20 = - x -3 \\$

$\longrightarrow x + 4y -20+3=0\\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Standard \ Form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ x + 4y -17=0}}}} \\$

Again the equation can be rewritten as ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 = \dfrac{-1}{4}(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{3}{4}+5 \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{20-3}{4} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Slope-Intercept\ form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}}}}\\$

Jasmine jumps form 18 ft above sea level to 6 ft below sea level. Kim jumps for, 14 ft above sea level to 5 ft above sea level.

DENIUS [597]

People keep saying they will give 100 points...stop lying!

But Jasmine jumps a total of 24 feet.

Kim jumps a total of 19 feet.

Jasmine jumps farther.

I don't know what the dora que is, but the difference is 5ft.

A line joins the point

Harrizon [31]

Intersection of the first two lines:

$\begin{cases}5x - 2y + 3 = 0\\4x - 3y + 1 = 0\end{cases}$

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 5:

$\begin{cases}20x - 8y + 12 = 0\\20x - 15y + 5 = 0\end{cases}$

Subtract the two equations:

$(20x - 8y + 12)-(20x - 15y + 5)=0 \iff 7y+7=0 \iff y=-1$

Plug this value for y in one of the equation, for example the first:

$5x - 2\cdot (-1) + 3 = 0\iff 5x+5=0 \iff x=-1$

So, the first point of intersection is $(-1,-1)$

We can find the intersection of the other two lines in the same way: we start with

$\begin{cases}x=y\\x=3y+4\end{cases}$

Use the fact that x and y are the same to rewrite the second equation as

$x=3x+4 \iff 2x=-4 \iff x=-2$

And since x and y are the same, the second point is $(-2, -2)$

So, we're looking for a line passing through $(-1,-1)$ and $(-2, -2)$ . We may use the formula to find the equation of a line knowing two of its points, but in this case it is very clear that both points have the same coordinates, so the line must be $y=x$

In the attached figure, line $5x - 2y + 3 = 0$ is light green, line $4x - 3y + 1 = 0$ is dark green, and their intersection is point A.

Simiarly, line $x=y$ is red, line $x = 3y + 4$ is orange, and their intersection is B.

As you can see, the line connecting A and B is the red line itself.
