What is the equation of a line passing between the points below? (-3,1) (5,-7)

Mathematics

Answer:

Ax + Ay + 2A = 0 for any nonzero A, for example (A=1): x + y + 2 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is

Ax + By + C = 0

so we know that:

A*-3 + B*1 + C = 0

A*5 + B*-7 + C = 0

Let's subtract one from the other:

A*(-3 - 5) + B*(1 + -7) = 0

A*-8 + B*8 = 0

B*8 = A*8

B = A

Let's input B = A into the first two equations

A*-3 + A*1 + C = A*-2 + C = 0

A*5 + A*-7 + C = A*-2 + C = 0

checks out

C = 2A

So for any nonzero A the equation of

Ax + Ay + 2A = 0 produces a line passing between the points. Example would be

x + y + 2 = 0

A bag of apples weighs 7 7/8 pounds. By weight, 1/15 of the apples are rotten. What is the weight of the good apples?
siniylev [52]
The good apples are 14/15 of the total apples. So multiply the total apples by the weight of good ones to find the solution. \frac{63}{8}*\frac{14}{15} = \frac{294}{40} = 7\frac{7}{20}lbs

How to solve log base 5 of x + log base 5 of (4x-1)
pochemuha
Log5(x)+log5(4x-1)
As the bases are the same the number doesn't matter
Log (a) + log(b) =log (ab)

Log(4x^2-x)

(x )(4x-1)

x=0.25 or x=0

Log(4×0.25^2-0.25) = log(0) = Infinity
Same with 0. So no answer
