Which of the following is a point slope equation of the line below (10,5)(2,2)
salantis [7]
Point slope form follows the equation y-y₁=m(x-x₁), so we want it to look like that. Starting off with m, or the slope, we can find this using your two points with the formula \frac{ y_{1}  -y_{2} }{ x_{1} - x_{2} }. Note that y₁ and x₁ are from the same point, but it does not matter which point you designate to be point 1 and point 2. Thus, we can plug our numbers in - the x value comes first in the equation, and the y value comes second, so we have
\frac{5-2}{10-2} = \frac{3}{5} as our slope. Keeping in mind that it does not matter which point is point 1 and which point is point 2, we go back to  y-y₁=m(x-x₁) and plug a point in (I'll be using (10,5)). Note that x₁, m,  and y₁ need to be plugged in, but x and y stay that way so that you can plug x or y values into the formula to find where exactly it is on the line. Thus, we have our point slope equation to be y- 5= \frac{3}{5} (x-10)

22. The height of a triangle is 4 centimeters less than the base. Write a function that
torisob [31]

The function is y = 1/2 x² - 2 x and the base of the triangle cannot be 3 cm.

let the base of the triangle be x

Height of the triangle = x - 4

Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × height

Area = 1/2 × x × (x-4)

Area = 1/2 (x² - 4x)

Area = 1/2 x² - 2 x

We can also write it as a function:

y = 1/2 x² - 2 x

Domain = (3 , ∞)

Range = [0, ∞)

Since 3 is not included in the domain, base of the triangle cannot be 3 cm.

Therefore, the function is y = 1/2 x² - 2 x and the base of the triangle cannot be 3 cm.

Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

r = \±\sqrt{14

Product = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}

Cross multiply:

2x(r - x) = 7 * 1

2xr - 2x^2 = 7

Subtract 7 from both sides

2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7

2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0

Reorder

- 2x^2+ 2xr  -7= 0

Multiply through by -1

2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

b^2 - 4ac = 0

For a quadratic equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

By comparison with 2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0

a = 2

b = -2r

c =7

Substitute these values in b^2 - 4ac = 0

(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0

4r^2 - 56 = 0

Add 56 to both sides

4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56

4r^2 = 56

Divide through by 4

r^2 = 14

Take square roots

\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14

r = \±\sqrt{14

Hence, the possible values of r are:

\sqrt{14 or -\sqrt{14

and the product is:

Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}

Product = -14

Please help! 20 points + brainliest
klemol [59]

For the first one we divide every element by sqrt3

we get

q+2/sqrt3 =sqrt5/sqrt3

q=(sqrt5-2)/sqrt3

q=sqrt3*sqrt5-2*sqrt3/3

q=sqrt15-2sqrt3/3

which is the third option

For the second one

sqrt(2y-5) +4=8

first we move the 4 to the right

sqrt(2y-5)=4

we remove the square root by bringing to the power of two

2y-5=16

2y=21

y=21/2

y=10 1/2

third option
