The equation of the line that is parallel to 4x+2 and passing through (5,15)

Mila [183]

Answer:

y=4x-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

slop-interception form of the required line is y=kx+b, where k - slop, b - intercept;

1) to find value of k:

if the required line is parallel to the given line, then slop of the given line = slop of the required line, it means k=4 and the required line is y=4x+b;

2) to find the value of 'b':

if to substitute the given coordinates into the equation of the given line, then:

15=4*5+b, b= -5.

3) finally, y=4x-5

PLEASE HELP!! Factor 6x^2-42x-54 Please show work!

skad [1K]

first, rewrite 54 as 6•9

next, rewrite 42 as 6•7

then, that gets you 6x^2 -6•7x- 6•9

lastly, factor out the common term (6)

and then you get 6(x^2-7x-9)

Given that the points (-1, 5) and (2, 1) are vertices of a rectangle with sides parallel to the axes, how much longer is the len

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Correct choice is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Two vertices of the rectangle have coordinates A(-1, 5) and B(2, 1). If rectangle sides are parallel to the axes, then two remaining vertices have coordinates C(-1,1) and D(2,5) (see attached diagram for details).

Find the length and the width:

$AC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(5-1)^2}=4\ units,\\ \\AD=\sqrt{(2-(-1))^2+(5-5)^2}=3\ units.$
