What is the value of n in the equation 2.3 × 10 9power = (1 × 10 3power)(2.3 × 10n)

Amanda [17]

Hello,

2.3 x 10^9 = ( 1 x 10^3) ( 2.3 x 10^n)

Solution:

Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to remove the variable from the exponent.

n=6

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is y + 7 = (x – 10). What is the stan

torisob [31]

The point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math 2x+5y=-15\\\end{minispace}}$ i.e., $\fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option C\\\end{minispace}}$ .

Further explanation:

It is given that line passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ .

The objective is to determine the point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ .

The options given are as follows:

Option A: 2x-5y=-15

Option B: 2x-5y=-17

Option C: 2x+5y=-15

Option D: 2x+5y=-17

Consider the point $(-5,-1)$ as $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(10,-7)$ as $(x_{2},y_{2})$ .

Slope of a curve is defined as the change in the value of $y$ with respect to change in value of $x$ .

The slope of the line is calculated as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}$

To obtain the value of slope substitute the value of $x_{1},y_{1},x_{2},y_{2}$ in the above equation.

$\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}\\&=\dfrac{-6}{15}\\&=\dfrac{-2}{5}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{-2}{5}\\\end{minispace}}$

The general way to express the equation of a line in its point slope form is as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}$

To obtain the point slope form of the equation of the line substitute the value of $m$ , $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the above equation.

$\begin{aligned}(y-(-1))&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x-(-5))\\(y+1)&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x+5)\\5y+5&=-2x-10\\5y+2x&=-15\end{aligned}$

From the above calculation it is concluded that the point slope form the equation of a line is $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math 5y+2x=-15\\\end{minispace}}$

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function $5y+2x=-15$ .

This implies that the correct option for the point slope form of the line is option C.

Therefore, the point slope form of the line which passes through the points $(-5,-1)$ and $(10,-7)$ is $2x+5y=-15$ i.e., option C.
