Answer: We have then:

y-yo = m (x-x0)

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (4 - (- 1)) / (4 - (- 3))

m = 5/7

We choose an ordered pair:

(xo, yo) = (4, 4)

Substituting:

y-4 = (5/7) (x-4)

y = (5/7) x-20/7 + 4

7y = 5x - 20 + 28

7y = 5x + 8

y = (5/7) x + 8/7

The equation of the perpendicular line is:

-7x - 5y = -48

Answer:

the equation of BC is:

(C) -7x - 5y = -48

Find the slope (-2,-4) (-5,5)

diamong [38]

Answer:

Your answer would be Slope m = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Graph the points on a coordinate plane( refer to image!)

Whenever your trying to find a slope of 2 order pairs, remember this

m = rise/run. ( Slope = rise over run.) = Δy/Δx

Now we solve:

M = rise/run = Δy/Δx

M = y2 - y1/x2-x1

M = 5 - (-4) / -5-(-2)

So we get M = 9/-3 and 9 divided by -3 is -3

So, the slope of (-2,-4) and (-5,5) is -3.

A business buys a computer for $3,000. After 4 years the value of the computer is expected to be $250. The value, v, can be rela

yuradex [85]

You are given two points in the linear function. At time 0 years, the value is $3000. At time 4 years, the value is $250. This means you have points (0, 3000) and (4, 250). You need to find the equation of the line that passes through those two points.

y = mx + b

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (3000 - 250)/(0 - 4) = 2750/(-4) = -687.5

Use point (0, 3000).

3000 = -687.5(0) + b

b = 3000

The equation is

y = -687.5x + 3000

Since we are using points (t, v) instead of (x, y), we have:

v = -687.5t + 3000

Answer: d. v = -687.50 t + 3,000
