 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

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

y = -1/2x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular slope will be the negative reciprocal of the original slope

the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2, and the negative of that is -1/2

A rectangle has a length of (3x - 1) and a width of (x + 1). part a determine the perimeter and area of the rectangle as polynom
liubo4ka [24]

Perimeter of rectangle is 8x and Area is 3x^2 + 2x -1..

Lets try to solve out the problem,

Length = 3x-1

Width = x+1

Perimeter = 2(l+b)

Area = l*b

Perimeter= 2 (3x-1 + x+1)

P= 8x

Area = (3x-1) (x+1)

=> 3x(x+1) -1 (x+1)

=> 3x^2 + 3x -x -1

=> 3x^2 + 2x -1.

Hence Perimeter of rectangle is 8x and Area is 3x^2 + 2x -1..

8.3.5 Ana's monthly salary was $2000 in May. In June, she received a 20% raise. In July, she received a 20% pay cut. After the t
Harman [31]

Answer:

<u>After July, Ana's monthly salary was $1920</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

In May, Ana's monthly salary was $2000. During the next month, the salary increased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

2000+(0.2)(2000)=2000+400=2400

So, in June, Ana's monthly salary was $2400. During the next month, the salary decreased by 20%, or (0.2)(2000)

2400-(0.2)(2400)=2400-480=1920

Therefore, after the two changes, Ana's monthly salary was <u>$1920</u>
