Answer:
y = - 3x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)
m = =
= - 3 , thus
y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 1) , then
1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 + 6 = 7
y = - 3x + 7 ← equation of line
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse² =base² + altitude²
(3x + 4)² = (2x + 1)² + (3x)²
{Use (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²}
(3x)² + 2*3x+4 + 4² = (2x)² + 2*2x*1 + 1² + 9x²
9x² + 24x + 16 = 4x² + 4x + 1 + 9x²
9x² + 24x + 16 = 13x² + 4x + 1
0 = 13x² + 4x + 1 - 9x² - 24x - 16
13x² - 9x² + 4x - 24x +1 - 16 = 0
4x² - 20x - 15 = 0
a = 4 ; b =-20 ; c = -15
D = b² - 4ac = (-20)² - 4*4*(-15) = 400 + 240 = 640
√D = √640 = 25.30
x = 5 .66 ; x = -0.66
Ignore x = -0.66 as length of a side cannot be negative
Answer : x = 5.66
