Answer:y = -3x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
To find an equation of a line that passes through two points, we have to first find the slope between the two equation. We can do this by using the slope formula:
where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the two points that we are finding the slope between.
Lets make (x₁, y₁) equal to (0, 10) and (x₂, y₂) equal to (3, 1). Now we plug them into the slope formula:
So the slope between the two points is -3.
From here, I would normally take one of the points given to us and plug in the point and slope into the point-slope form of a line and then simplify until we get it in slope-intercept form. But if you look carefully, the y-intercept is given to us as the point (0, 10). So we now know that the y-intercept of the line is 10. We can now take the y-intercept and the slope and plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line to get out equation:
y = mx + b
plug in -3 for m (the slope) and 10 for b (the y-intercept)
y = -3x + 10
So now we have our equation.
I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite = BC ,
Adjacent = AB = x = 3 ,
Hypotenuse = AC = y = 22
<em><u>Using trigonometric ratios.</u></em>
Since we have adjacent and hypotenuse we use cosine's ratio
to find the angle.
So basically you're dividing 12 by 3 times x which is 12 over 3x. 12/3x
