Find the equation of the line passing through (1,4) and (-2,-1).

Mathematics
1 answer:
wel3 years ago

Answer:

y=5/3x+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the points: (1,4) and (-2, -1)

let's first find the slope, which is with the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) (m is the slope)

label the points:

x1=1

y1=4

x2=-2

y2=-1

now subsitute into the equation

m=(-1-4)/(-2-1)

m=-5/-3

m=5/3

the slope of the line 5/3

Here's the equation so far:

y=5/3x+b (b is a place holder)

we can substitute either one of the points into the equation so far to find b, because the line will pass through both of them>

let's use (1,4) as an example

4=5/3(1)+b

4=5/3+b

subtract 5/3 from both sides

7/3=b

Now, put it all together:

y=5/3x+7/3

Hope this helps!

Select the correct answer. Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% ch
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Option A 0.1698

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jason has a chance for getting oil as 45%

THe kit he buys show accurate result with 80% probability

Let A1- Event that the land has oil

A2 - Event that the land has no oil

B- The test gives negative result

A1 and A2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

P(A1) = 0.45 and P(A2) =0.55

Hence we can use Baye theorem

Then P(B) = P(A1B)+P(A2B)=0.45(0.20)+0.55(0,80)\\=0.09+0.0.44\\=0.53

Reqd prob =P(A1/B) =

\frac{P(A1B)}{P(B)}\\ =\frac{0.09}{0.53}\\\\=0.1698

Given that (6 3) is on the graph of f(x) find the corresponding point for the function f(-1/2x)
Vlada [557]
\bf \begin{array}{rllll}
(6&,&3)&f(x)\\
x&&y\\\\
(-\frac{1}{2}x&,&3)&f(-\frac{1}{2}x)\\\\
(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6&,&3)\\\\
(-3&,&3)
\end{array}

keep in mind that, a negative coefficient to "x", will make the graph reflect over the y-axis.
