Answer:

equation: y=-2x+2

a=-3

b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find the equation of the line containing the point (3,-4) and has the slope (m) of -2

slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we can plug what we know into the equation:

y=-2x+b

we need to find b though

since the point will pass through the point (3,-4) we can subsitute it into the equation to find b

-4=-2(3)+b

-4=-6+b

2=b

the y intercept is 2

so the equation is y=-2x+2

the line also contains the points (a,8) and (5,b)

first, let's find a

a is the x value of the point

we know the value of y (8)

substitute y as 8 and solve for x

8=-2x+2

subtract

6=-2x

-3=x=a

so a is -3

now find b

b is the y value of the point

we know the x value (5)

substitute x as 5 and solve for y

y=-2(5)+2

y=-10+2

y=-8=b

so b is -8

hope this helps!

Note the general equation of a circle is x^2 + y^2 = r^2, with centre (0, 0) and radius: r.

So, our equation of a circle is (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 100

Subtract 100 from both sides and plug in the points. If it equals to 0, then the points satisfy the equation of the circle (ie lies on the circle)

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

y= -9+√122, or -9 - √122

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to solve the equation for y to find each variable of the quadratic and applying the quadratic formula.

after solved, I got the answer as decimal,

y = 2.0453610.....

i simpler form : y = 2.05

Also, an answer can be y= -9+√122, or -9 - √122

Given the formula,v= 4.5 + at,find the value of v when a=1.6 and t=3.5.​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

v=10.1

Step-by-step explanation:

v= 4.5 + at  -------> equation 1

given

a=1.6

t=3.5

so we will plug in the value in equation 1

v = 4.5 + (1.6 x 3.5)

v = 4.5 + 5.6

v = 10.1
