Given point P(-8,5) and point Q(-2,1), what is the slope of a line that passes through

1 answer:

7 0

To find the slope of a line, use this formula:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope, and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points.

If I plug points P and Q into the slope formula, we get:

(1-5)/(-2+8) = -4/6 = -2/3

The slope is -2/3

Find 60% of 65 then add it to 65

0.6 x 65 = 39

now add it to 65:

39 + 65 = 104

They are selling them for 104$

Answer:

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{4x^3+3x^2y-5y^2}{10xy-3y^2-x^3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

solving for dy/dx

multiply the equation out to remove parentheses

$x^4 + x^3y = 5xy^2 -y^3$

now differentiating in terms of x ( $\frac{dy}{dx}$ )

$4x^3 +3x^2y + x^3(\frac{dy}{dx} ) = 5y^2 + 10xy(\frac{dy}{dx} )-3y^2(\frac{dy}{dx} )$

isolating dy/dx to one side

$4x^3 +3x^2y - 5y^2= 10xy(\frac{dy}{dx} )-3y^2(\frac{dy}{dx} )-x^3(\frac{dy}{dx} )$

$4x^3 +3x^2y - 5y^2= \frac{dy}{dx}(10xy-3y^2-x^3)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{4x^3+3x^2y-5y^2}{10xy-3y^2-x^3}$
