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

Mathematics

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!

During second period, Jaylen completed a grammar worksheet. Of the 4 questions, Jaylen got 75% right. How many questions did Jay
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

3 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

since he got 75% of 4, the equation should be set up as 75% times 4, or 75%*4. since 75% is equal to 0.75, replace 75% with 0.75 to get:
0.75*4
0.75*4 equals 3

Parallelograms ABDC and EFHG are similar. If side AC equals 4 units, side AB equals 16 units, and side EG equals 32 units, what
alexdok [17]
Remember that sides AC and EG will correspond. By finding the ratio of the lengths of these sides, we can find the length of EF.
The ratio of 4 to 16 simplifies to 1:4. This means that every side in ABDC is 1/4th of its corresponding side in EFHG. 16 times 4 is 64, so EF has a length of 64 units.
