Write an equation of the line through (-2, - 1) having slope 8/7?

Mathematics

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

When slope and one point are known follow instructions on this page:

http://www.1728.org/distance.htm

Calculate "b" from this equation:

b = y -mx where "m" is the slope

We'll use the point given (-2, -1) for "x" and "y"

b = -1 -(8/7) * -2

b = -1 + 16/7

b = 9/7

then we enter "b" and the slope into this equation

y = 8/7x +9/7

y = 1.142857 x + 1.2857142857

PLEASE HELP!! (50 POINTS)
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Since pair of opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides meets at right angles, the quadrilateral COAT is a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the given quadrilateral is C(2,0),O(7,0),A(7,2),T(2,2)

It is sufficient to show that pair of opposite sides are parallel and adjacent sides are perpendicular.

The slope of each side can be found using the formula;


m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}


Slope of CO,

M_{CO}=\frac{0-0}{7-2}=\frac{0}{5} =0

A line with a zero slope is a horizontal line.


The slope of OA,

M_{OA}=\frac{2-0}{7-7} =\frac{2}{0}

This slope is undefined.

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical line.

This shows that,the side CO and OA of the quadrilateral meets at right angle.


The slope of AT,

M_{AT}=\frac{2-2}{7-0}=\frac{0}{5}=0


This is also a horizontal line.

The slope of TC,


M_{TC}=\frac{2-0}{2-2} =\frac{2}{0}


This also a vertical line.


This implies that, side TC and side AT meets at Tat right angles and TC is parallel to OA.

Also AT is parallel to TO.


This shows that COAT is a rectangle.

Scientists were studying a rare species of parrot. They went to a forest in the year
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

P(t) = 608(1.5)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of parrots in t years after 2010 can be modeled by the following function:

P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^{t}

In which P(0) is the number of parrots in 2010 and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

608 parrots in the forest in 2010.

This means that P(0) = 608

Then

P(t) = 608(1+r)^{t}

When the scientists went back  5 years later, they found 4617 parrots.

This means that P(5) = 4617

We use this to find 1 + r. So

P(t) = 608(1+r)^{t}

4617 = 608(1+r)^{5}

(1+r)^{5} = \frac{4617}{608}

1 + r = \sqrt[5]{\frac{4617}{608}}

1 + r = 1.5

So

P(t) = 608(1.5)^{t}
