Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that passes through (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation is:

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(-1, -2)

(3, 4)

Determining the slope between (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:4\right)$

$m=\frac{4-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-1\right)}$

$m=\frac{3}{2}$

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = 3/2

substituting m = 3/2 and the point (3, 4) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

$4=\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b$

switch sides

$\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b=4$

$\frac{9}{2}+b=4$

subtract 9/2 from both sides

$\frac{9}{2}+b-\frac{9}{2}=4-\frac{9}{2}$

$b=-\frac{1}{2}$

now substituting m = 3/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line equation is:

$y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}$

7 gal 1 pt - 2 gal 7 pt =

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

4 gal 2 pt

Step-by-step explanation:

8 pt = 1 gal

7 gal 1 pt = 57 pt

2 gal 7 pt = 23 pt

57 pt - 23 pt = 34 pt

34 pt = 4 gal 2 pt

To two decimal places, find the value of k that will make the function f(x) continuous everywhere. f of x equals the quantity 3x

Fiesta28 [93]

Given function is

$f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix}3x+k & x\leq -4 \\ kx^2-5 & x> -4\end{matrix}\right.$

now we need to find the value of k such that function f(x) continuous everywhere.

We know that any function f(x) is continuous at point x=a if left hand limit and right hand limits at the point x=a are equal.

So we just need to find both left and right hand limits then set equal to each other to find the value of k

To find the left hand limit (LHD) we plug x=-4 into 3x+k

so LHD= 3(-4)+k

To find the Right hand limit (RHD) we plug x=-4 into

$kx^2-5$

so RHD= $k(-4)^2-5$

Now set both equal

$k(-4)^2-5=3(-4)+k$

$16k-5=-12+k$

$16k-k=-12+5$

$15k=-7$

$k=-\frac{7}{15}$

k=-0.47

Hence final answer is -0.47.
