Why is the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) called the point-slope form?

MatroZZZ [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The equation of the line with slope m = 2 and passing through the point (1, 1) will be:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the point-slope form of the line equation is

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where

  • m is the slope of the line
  • (x₁, y₁) is the point

The formula y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right) is termed as the point-slope form of the line equation because if we know one point on a certain line and the slope of that line, then we can easily get the line equation with this formula and, hence, determine all other points on the line.

For example, if we are given the point (1, 1) and slope m = 2

Then substituting the values m = 2 and the point (1, 2)

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y - 2 = 2(x-1)

y - 2 = 2x-2

y = 2x-2+2

y = 2x

Therefore, the equation of the line with slope m = 2 and passing through the point (1, 1) will be:

y = 2x

Which polynomials are in standard form?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Regular type is called the form in which polynomials are mostly used. The parameters are calibrated to the lowest degree. The polynomial x4 + 2x3+x+11 is standard, for instance, because four are most strong and three and one are the strongest.

Please help! Will give brainliest for right answer!
KIM [24]
The slope of the line, is the one with an variable, in this case x. The other value, 27.52, is the y intercept, which would represent how much money he began with. So the variable 17.63x represents how much he could expect to make per week. We know it is per week because there is only a single x, if there were two x's it would be per 2 weeks, three x's per 3 weeks and so on.

From this we can conclude the answer is B, Aidan can expect to save about $17.63 each week

You have 100 feet of fencing and decide to make a rectangular garden. What is the largest area enclosed
k0ka [10]

Answer:

625 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 100 --- perimeter

Required

The largest area

The perimeter is calculated as:

P = 2 * ( L + W)

So, we have:

2 * ( L + W) = 100

Divide both sides by 2

L + W  = 50

Make  L the subject

L = 50 - W

The area is calculated as:

A= L * W

Substitute L = 50 - W

A= (50 - W) * W

Open bracket

A = 50W - W^2

Differentiate with respect to W

A' = 50 -2W

Set to 0; to get the maximum value of W

50 - 2W = 0

Collect like terms

-2W = -50

Divide by -2

W = 25

So, the maximum area is:

A = 50W - W^2

A = 50 * 25 - 25^2

A = 1250 - 625

A = 625
