PLS HELP ASAP If -2 is added to each of the x and y intercepts of the line 3x + 2y = 6, find the new equation of the line

Answer:

3x + 2y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x intercept of the line occurs at y = 0

Given the equation 3x+2y = 6

3x+2(0) = 6

3x  = 6

x = 2

The x intercept is at (2, 0)

Adding -2 to each axis will give (2-2, 0-2) = (0, -2)

y intercept of the line occurs at x = 0

Given the equation 3x+2y = 6

3(0)+2y = 6

2y  = 6

y =3

The x intercept is at (0, 3)

Adding -2 to each axis will give (0-2, 3-2) = (-2, 1)

The new coordinates are (0, -2 and (-2, 1)

Using the point slope form of the equation y - y0 = m(x-x0)

slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 1-(-2)/-2-0

m = 1+2/-2

m = -3/2

Using m = -3/2 and (0, -2)

y - (-2) = -3/2(x-0)

y+2 = -3/2 x

2(y+2) = -3x

2y+4 = -3x

-3x-2y = 4

3x + 2y = -4

Hence the required equation is 3x + 2y = -4

Find the equation of the line through (6,4) and (-3,-8)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 4/3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the equation of a line with 2 points, we use the slope formula which is:

\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

we will use (6,4) as x_1[tex] and [tex]y_1 and we will use (-3,-8) as x_2[tex] and [tex]y_2. we plug this into the slope formula:

\frac{-8-4}{-3-6}

-8 - 4 = -12

-3 - 6 = -9

the slope is \frac{-12}{-9}

but we can simplify this further by dividing the fraction by -3

-12 / -3 = 4

-9 / -3 = 3

the simplified version of the slope is \frac{4}{3}

we can write this in slope-intercept form which is y =mx + b, with b being the y intercept and m being the slope

y = 4/3x + b <--- we need to solve for <em>b</em> in order to find the y intercept, so substitute x & y for a point on the line, we can use any point we are given, but for this example i will use (6,4)

4 = 4/3(6) + b < multiply 4/3 x 6

4 = 8 + b < subtract 8 from both sides

-4 = b

our y intercept would be (0,-4)

the equation looks like the following:

y = 4/3x - 4, which is our answer

If two angles of one triangle equal in measure to two angles of another triangle then the third angles of the triangle
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Are also equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Say triangle A has the angles 30 and 60. triangle b also has those angles. Total angle of any triangle is 180 so 180-60-30 = 90 for triangle A and it is also the same for triangle b. Thus 90 = 90 angles are the same.
