 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

The base and the height of a rectangle are represented by the expressions below.
PIT_PIT [208]
The length of the base is 27 and the length of the height is 17.

To find the answer, you need to add up each side twice and set it equal to 88.

x-6+x-6+x+4+x+4=88

That is equal to: 4x - 4 = 88

Add 4 to both sides: 4x = 92

Divide by 4: x = 23

Now plug 23 in for x:

Base: 23 + 4 = 27
Height: 23-6=17
