 y-y1 x-x1 -------- = ------- y2-y1 x2-x1 
y-(-5) x-1 ------- = ---- 7-(-5) -3-1 
y+5*(-4)=12*(x-1) -4y-20=12x-12 12x+4y+8=0 /4 3x+y+2=0


 why: To form an linear equation for a line, you must remember 2 things 
****First find its gradient, second, find the y-intercept. 
General equation for a line: y = mx + c, where m = gradient, and c = y-intercept. 
Gradient, m = {7 - (-5)} / {(-3) - 1} = - 3 
To find the y-intercept, you must use one of the point (-3, 7) or (1, -5) and substitute the value of x and y from the coordinate u choose into the general equation y = mx + c. 
I choose (1, -5), so -5 = -3(1) + c -5 = -3 + c -5 + 3 = c -2 = c 
Thus, 
the equation in slope-intercept form is y = -3x - 2. 
the equation in standard form is y + 3x + 2 = 0 
the equation in point-slope form is y + 3x = -2 divide both sides with -2 y / (-2) + 3x / (-2) = -2 / -2 - y / 2 - x / (2/3) = 1

Answer:

(a) y-(-5)= -3(x-1)

(b) y = -3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1= m(x-x1)

Where m is the slope

slope formula is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

(x1,y1) is (1, –5) and (x2,y2) is  (–3, 7)

m=\frac{7-(-5)}{(-3)-1}

m=\frac{-12}{4}=-3

use m=-3 and point (1,-5)

y-y1= m(x-x1)

(a) Point - slope form is

y-(-5)= -3(x-1)

(b) Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, solve for y

y+5 = -3x + 3

Subtract 5 on both sides

y = -3x -2

Answer:

Gaming Functions

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your teacher is implying for you to explain the function and the "works" behind the game. Maybe talk about the game's programming or the way it's overall structured?

The length and breadth of a rectangular field are 312m and 186m respectively; correct to the nearest metres. Between what limits
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

P \geq 1000 \; meters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 312 meters

Breadth = 186 meters

To find the perimeter of the rectangle;

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Perimeter = 2(312 + 186)

Perimeter = 2(498)

Perimeter = 996 meters

To the nearest meters, we have;

Perimeter = 996 ≈ 1000 meters

Let P represent the perimeter of a rectangular field.

900 < P > 1000

Therefore, P \geq 1000 \; meters

In a triangle, two angles have measures of 45 degrees and 85 degrees. What is the measure of the third angle in this triangle?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

All three angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. If you know the measure of two angles, add them together and subtract the sum from 180.  

45+85=130.  Then, subtract 130 from the total, or 180.   180-130=50. The measure of the third angle of the triangle is 50 degrees.
