A line passes through point A (14,21). A second point on the line has an x-value that is 125% of the x-value of point A and a y-

value
that is 75% of the y-value of point A. Use point A to write an equation of the line in point-slope form.

Answer:

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14).

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, let A(x,y) = (14,21) and B(x,y) = (1.25\cdot x_{A},0.75\cdot y_{A}). The equation of the line in point-slope form is defined by the following formula:

y-y_{A} = m\cdot (x-x_{A}) (1)

Where:

x_{A}, y_{A} - Coordinates of the point A, dimensionless.

m - Slope, dimensionless.

x - Independent variable, dimensionless.

y - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

In addition, the slope of the line is defined by:

m = \frac{y_{B}-y_{A}}{x_{B}-x_{A}} (2)

If we know that x_{A} = 14 and y_{A} = 21, then the equation of the line in point-slope form is:

x_{B} = 1.25\cdot (14)

x_{B} = 17.5

y_{B} = 0.75\cdot (21)

y_{B} = 15.75

From (2):

m = \frac{15.75-21}{17.5-14}

m = -\frac{3}{2}

By (1):

y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14)

The equation of the line in point-slope form is y-21 = - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (x-14).

Find the product of 3 and the linear equation, and solve for both equations for y.
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Part 1) The product of 3 and 2y-4x=8 is 6y-12x=24

Part 2) The original equation in slope intercept form is y=2x+4

Part 3) The new equation in slope intercept form is y=2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2y-4x=8

step 1

Find out the product of 3 and 2y-4x=8

Multiply both sides by 3

3(2y-4x)=3(8)

Apply distributive property both sides

6y-12x=24

step 2

Find out the original equation in slope intercept form

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

we have

2y-4x=8

Solve for y

That means ----> Isolate the variable y

Adds 4x both sides

2y=4x+8

Divide by 2 both sides

y=(4x+8)/2

Simplify

y=2x+4

step 3

Find out the new equation in slope intercept form

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

we have

6y-12x=24

Solve for y

That means ----> Isolate the variable y

Adds 12x both sides

6y=12x+24

Divide by 6 both sides

y=(12x+24)/6

Simplify

y=2x+4
