Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. The two points that I would use are (3,-1) and (-3,-3). This means that the equation will be -3--1/-3-3. This is equal to -2/-6. This is also equal to 1/3. Therefore, the slope is 1/3.

35. For the following exercises, given each set of information, find a linear equation satisfying the conditions, if possible.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The linear equation for the line which passes through the points given as (-2,8) and $(4,6), is written in the point-slope form as $y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A condition is given that a line passes through the points whose coordinates are (-2,8) and (4,6).

It is asked to find the linear equation which satisfies the given condition.

Step 1 of 3

Determine the slope of the line.

The points through which the line passes are given as (-2,8) and (4,6). Next, the formula for the slope is given as,

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute $6 \& 8$ for $y_{2}$ and $y_{1}$ respectively, and 4&-2 for $x_{2}$ and $x_{1}$ respectively in the above formula. Then simplify to get the slope as follows, $m=\frac{6-8}{4-(-2)}$

$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{-2}{6} \\&m=-\frac{1}{3}\end{aligned}$

Step 2 of 3

Write the linear equation in point-slope form.

A linear equation in point slope form is given as,

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

Substitute $-\frac{1}{3}$ for m,-2 for $x_{1}$ , and 8 for $y_{1}$ in the above equation and simplify using the distributive property as follows, $y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-2))$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$\\ $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$$

Step 3 of 3

Simplify the equation further.

Add 8 on each side of the equation $y-8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}$ , and simplify as follows, $y-8+8=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}+8$

$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{2+24}{3}$$\\ $$y=-\frac{1}{3} x-\frac{26}{3}$$

This is the required linear equation.

Any awnsers will give brainless

For the first, simply plug in the value of x given (x = 2) into the equation: $\left\frac{3}{4}x^2 + 5\right.|_{x=2} = \frac{3}{4}\left ( 2^2 \right )+5 = 8.$

So, 8 would be your answer.

For the second, the sum of x and 2 would be expressed as x + 2. Twice this sum would be written as 2(x+2). Finally, 8 less than twice that sum would be written as 2(x+2) - 8, which would be your expression.

For the last question, the coefficient refers to the number directly in front of the variable, x. So you need only to check what the x would simplify to in each equation and look for the expression where x has no coefficient (i.e., its coefficient is 1). For Hunter, the coefficient would be 15 (5 × 3x = 15x); for Michael, the coefficient would be 11 (6x + 5x = 11x); for Nate, the coefficient would be 1 (x = 1x); and for Spencer, the coefficient would be 2 (2x = 2x). Thus, Nate's expression has a coefficient of 1 when simplified.
