What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (2,0) and has a slope of 5/2

1 answer:

5 0

Answer :

y = 5/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = 5/2 , thus
y = 5/2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (2, 0) into the partial equation
0 = 5 + c ⇒ c = 0 - 5
y = 5/2x - 5 ← equation of line

Point F is at (0, -10) and point H is at (-6, 5). Find the coordinates of point G on line segment FH such that the ratio of FG t

Tanya [424]

Answer:

G(x,y)=(-4,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

$(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Given:

$F(x_1,y_1)=(0, -10)\\H(x_2,y_2)=(-6, 5)\\FG:GH=m:n=2:1$

We substitute the values to get:

$G(x,y)=\left(\dfrac{2*-6+1*0}{2+1}, \dfrac{2*5+1*-10}{2+1}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{10-10}{3}\right)\\=\left(\dfrac{-12}{3}, \dfrac{0}{3}\right)\\\\G(x,y)=(-4,0)$
