The graph of a linear equation passes through the points (-4,1) and (4,6) HELP!

Answer:

a) (0, 3.5)

b) (12, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The points through which the graph of the linear equation passes are;

(-4, 1) and (4, 6)

The slope of the equation of a straight line passing through points (x₁, y₁), and (x₂, y₂), 'm', is given as follows;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

∴ The slope of the equation, m = (6 - 1)/(4 - (-4)) = 5/8 = 0.625

The equation of th line in point and slope form is therefore;

y - 1 = 0.625·(x - (-4))

∴ y = 0.625·(x - (-4)) + 1 = 0.625·x + 3.5

y = 0.625·x + 3.5

Therefore;

a) When x = 0, y = 0.625 × 0 + 3.5 = 3.5

∴ The point (0, 3.5) is a solution

b) When x = 12, we have, y = 0.625 × 12 + 3.5 = 11

∴ The point (12, 11) is a solution

However;

c) When x = 8, we have, y = 0.625 × 8 + 3.5 = 8.5

∴ The point (8, 5) is not a solution

d) When x = -6, we have, y = 0.625 × (-6) + 3.5 = -0.25

∴ The point (-6, 0) is not a solution

Therefore;

The points which are solutions are;

(0, 3.5) and (12, 11)

2(P +1) + 3(P + 2 ) &gt; 2<br> need help pls
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

2\left(P\:+1\right)\:+\:3\left(P\:+\:2\:\right)\:>\:2

solving the expression

2\left(P\:+1\right)\:+\:3\left(P\:+\:2\:\right)\:>\:2

as

  • 2\left(P+1\right)+3\left(P+2\right)=5P+8

so the expression becomes

5P+8>2

subtracting 8 from both sides

5P+8-8>2-8

5P>-6

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5P}{5}>\frac{-6}{5}

P>-\frac{6}{5}

Therefore,

2\left(P+1\right)+3\left(P+2\right)>2\quad :\quad \begin{bmatrix}\mathrm{Solution:}\:&\:P>-\frac{6}{5}\:\\ \:\mathrm{Decimal:}&\:P>-1.2\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-\frac{6}{5},\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}

The graph is also attached below.
