Answer:

y-9=17(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we know</u>:

  • The line goes through the points (-8,-8) and (-7,9)
  • We need to write the equation of the line in point-slope form

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Point-slope form: y-y_1=m(x-x_1) where m is the slope of the line and (x_1,y_1) is a point that the line passes through
  • We're given "y-9=", which is the "y-y_1" part of the point-slope form equation. This means that (x_1,y_1) is (-7,9) and we only need to solve for m.

Our equation so far (plugging in the point (-7,9):

y-9=m(x-(-7))

y-9=m(x+7)

<u>Determine the slope (m)</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (-8,-8) and (-7,9)

=\frac{-8-9}{-8-(-7)}\\=\frac{-8-9}{-8+7}\\=\frac{-17}{-1}\\= 17

Therefore, the slope of the line is 17. Plug this into y-9=m(x+7):

y-9=17(x+7)

I hope this helps!

Solve for x if the equation is 2/5(x+1)=g,
DochEvi [55]
\dfrac{2}{5}(x+1)=g\ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ \dfrac{5}{2}\\\\x+1=\dfrac{5}{2}g\ \ \ |subtract\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{5}{2}g-1}\to\boxed{x=\frac{5g-2}{2}}

Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
