Answer:

y= -x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope int. form: y=mx+b

first, we need to find the slope (m)

the two points are (2,4) and (7,-1).

to find the slope we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

doing this we get -5/5=-1

now we can plug in point (2,4) and the slope into y=mx+b

doing this we get:

4=-1(2)+b

4=-2+b

b=8

now we have the equation:

y= -x+8

Hey how to do this and what the answer​
frez [133]

Answer:

5x + y - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given two points and are asked to find the equation of the line we use the two - point form.

Two - point form: $ \frac{y - y_1}{y_2 - y_1} = \frac{x - x_1}{x_2 - x_1} $.

where: $ (x_1,y_1) $ and $ (x_2,y_2) $ are the two points on the line.

Given the two points are: (5,21) and (-5,-29).

Substituting in the two point form:

⇒  $ \frac{y - 21}{-29 - 21} = \frac{x - 5}{-5 -5} $

$ \implies \frac{y - 21}{-50} = \frac{x - 5}{-10} $

$ \implies y - 21 = 5x - 25 $

⇒                              5x + y - 4 = 0

A piece of wood is divided into two pieces in the ratio of 2:5. One piece is 10 cm long so how long is the other piece?
klio [65]

Answer:

The length of the pother piece of the wood is 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of a piece of wood is x such that the ratio of two pieces is 2:5. Two pieces are 2x and 5 x

Length of the first piece is 10 cm. It means, 2x = 10 i.e. x = 5

We have considered that the length of other piece is 5x. It means 5×5 = 25 cm.

Hence, the length of the pother piece of the wood is 25 cm
