Given two points 
and 
, the equation of the line passing through them is
This formula, however, only works if the points don't share any of the two coordinates. Otherwise, one of the two conditions is true:
And at least one of the denominators in the formula above will vanish.
So, if two points share the same x coordinate, they lie on the vertical line x=k, where k is the shared x coordinate.
Similarly, if two points share the same y coordinate, they lie on the horizontal line y=k, where k is the shared y coordinate.
In your case, the x coordinate is the same, so the points lie on the vertical line x=10.
(2/3)x=1/4
x= 3/8
x is the amount of water to fill the whole bin
when 2/3 of the bin is full, you have 1/4
so (2/3) of x is 1/4. then i just solved
hope that helped!
Please, share just ONE problem at a time. Thanks.
<span>Solve 2x^2-12x+20=0:
Simplify this by dividing each term by 2: x^2 - 6x + 10 = 0
Identify a, b and c: a=1, b=-6 and c=10. Then b^2=36.
Write out the solutions using the quadratic formula:
6 plus or minus sqrt(36-40)
x = ---------------------------------------
2
sqrt(36-40) = sqrt(-4) = plus or minus i2
Then:
6 plus or minus i2
x = --------------------------- (answer)
2</span>
I think your answer is 78 = x -2
