Hurrrryyyyy plllzzz. Determine the equation of the line that passes through the given points

pashok25 [27]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

y = 2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

To determine the equation of the line that passes through (10,2) and (-3,2), we need to determine the slope of the line. Then substitute the slope and any given point in point slope form to obtain the equation of the line.

<h3>Finding the Slope of the line:</h3>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

<u>Substitute the coordinates of the given points:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{2 - 2}{-3 - 10 }$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the slope:</u>

$\implies \text{Slope} = \dfrac{0}{-3 - 10 }$

∴ 0 divided by ANY number is ALWAYS 0.

$\implies \text{Slope} =0$

<h3>Finding the equation of the line:</h3>

Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ and y₁ are the coordinates of any given point.
m is the slope

<u>Substitute the values in the point slope form:</u>

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0(x - 10)$

<u>Simplify the equation to determine the equation of the line:</u>

∴ Any number multiplied by 0 is 0.

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y - 2 = 0$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 0 + 2$

$\implies \text{Equation of line:} \ y = 2$

Thus, the equation of the line is y = 2.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 = 2x2 + 3x – 8? Quadratic formula: x

OleMash [197]

ANSWER

$x=1.39$ to the nearest hundredth.

EXPLANATION

We have the equation,

$0=2x^2+3x-8$

Which can be rewritten as

$2x^2+3x-8=0$

The question demands the use of the quadratic formula.

Comparing this to the general quadratic equation;

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$a=2,b=3,c=-8$

The quadratic formula is given by;

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We now substitute all the values in to the formula;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{(3)^2-4(2)(-8)}}{2(2)}$

We simplify to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+64}}{4}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{73}}{4}$

We now split the plus or minus sign to obtain;

$x=\frac{-3-\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This implies that;

$x=-2.89$

Or

$x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{73}}{4}$

This will evaluate to;

$x=1.39$

Hence, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is

$x \approx 1.39$

(18) POINTS pLEASE HELP

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

(x-4)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{2} -7x+12\\$

multiply 1 and 12= 12

find two numbers that multiply to get twelve AND add together to get -7(the middle number)

the two numbers are -3 and -4 (they add up to get -7 AND multiply together to get 12)

plug in these numbers for -7x

$x^{2} -3x-4x+12$

x(x-3)-4(x-3)

the bolded is the first binomial and the second binomial is in the parenthesis.

(x-4)(x-3)

I hope this helps!
