Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y=\frac {1}{4}x-2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a point and a slope, we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m is the slope and (x₁ , y₁) is the point the line passes through.

We know the point is (4, -1).

We have to find the slope. We know that the line is parallel to y=1/4x.

This line has a slope of 1/4 (1/4 is the coefficient of x), and parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the line we are finding also has a slope of 1/4.

So, we know that:

  • m=1/4
  • x₁= 4
  • y₁= -1

Substitute these values into the formula.

y--1=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)

Now we must put the equation into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b. We have to isolate y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 1/4. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/4.

y--1=(\frac {1}{4}*x )+(\frac{1}{4} * -4)\\y+1= \frac {1}{4}x-1

1 is being added to y. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract 1 from both sides of the equation. This will leave the variable y by itself.

y+1-1= \frac {1}{4}x-1-1

y=\frac {1}{4}x-1-1\\y=\frac {1}{4}x-2

The equation of the line is <u>y=1/4x-2</u>

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf d= \sqrt{34}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance between two points, so the following formula is used.

d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2

Where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points we are finding the distance between.

We are given the points (-2, -1) and (3,2). If we match the corresponding value and variable we see that:

  • x₁= -2
  • y₁= -1
  • x₂= 3
  • y₂= 2

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= \sqrt {(-2-3)^2+(2--1)^2

Solve the parentheses.

  • -2 -3 = -5
  • 2--1 = 2+ 1 = 3

d= \sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2

Solve the exponents.

  • (-5)²= -5*-5= 25
  • (3)²= 3*3=9

d= \sqrt{25+9}

Add.

d= \sqrt{34}

This radical cannot be simplified, so the distance between the two points is <u>√34</u> and <u>choice 3 </u> is correct.
