You use the rule , y2-y1/x2-x1 , to find the slope so the answer will be = 0-2/4-1 = -2/3
Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.
Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x
subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3
Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}
If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.
You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?
Answer:
y = 5x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want to find a equation parallel to the line given, you need to know the slope of the line given. Remember that parallel lines have the same slope.
5x - y = 4 and solving for y:
-y = -5x + 4 and solving for positive y:
y = 5x - 4
So the slope of that line is 5. We will use that along with the coordinate given to us to write the equation first in point-slope form then in slope-intercept:
y - (-2) = 5(x - (-2)) and
y + 2 = 5(x + 2) and
y + 2 = 5x + 10 so
y = 5x + 8
