Given a point A(-2,5), find the coordinates of a point B so that the line segment AB has each slope.

Kaylis [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

I understand this that we need to find a point B for each of a) to f).

remember, the slope is the (y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference) when going from one point on the line to the other.

the slope 2/3 means that when going to B x has to increase by 3, and y has to increase by 2.

so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 + 2) = (1, 7)

-2/3 means that either x or y have to decrease and the other to increase.

e.g. x increases by 3, y decreases by 2.

so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 - 2) = (1, 3)

4 stands for 4/1.

so, x increases by 1, y increases by 4.

B = (-2 + 1, 5 + 4) = (-1, 9)

similar to c) -3 stands for -3/1.

and similar to b) either x or y has to decrease and the other to increase.

e.g. x increases by 1, y decreases by 3.

B = (-2 + 1, 5 - 3) = (-1, 2)

that means the y difference is 0. B has the same y coordinate.

e.g. B = (3, 5)

x can be any value.

the line is a horizontal line going through y = 5 or (0, 5) on the y-axis.

that means the x difference is 0. B has the same x coordinate.

e.g. B = (-2, 9)

y can be any value.

the line is a vertical line going through x = -2 or (-2, 0) on the x-axis.

A brother and a sister are in the same math class. there are 8 boys and 20 girls in the class. one boy and one girl are randomly

<h2>the answer i thinkk is 2/20 because since there ae 20 children, then the brother and sister each have a 1% chance, hope this helped!</h2>

Help it’s slope idk how to do it

a. $\boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

b. For every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.

c. <em> </em>It represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In this exercise we have that in July Ariel recorded the height of a pine tree and how quickly it was expected to grow in next several months. From the Table, we can get the following points:

$P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ P_{3}(q,606) \\ \\ P_{4}(12,608)$

It is obvious that this problem follows a linear equation, so our goal is to find the equation that matches the Table.

The point slope form of the equation of a line is:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line$

Finding (m):

$Using: \\ \\ P_{1}(x_{1},y_{1}) \rightarrow P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(x_{2}, y_{2}) \rightarrow P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{604-602}{6-3} \\ \\ m=\frac{2}{3}$

Finally, the equation of the line is:

$(x_{1}, y_{1}) \rightarrow (3,602) \\ \\ \boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}$

In this case, we have that:

The x-axis represents the <em>Number of Months </em>the pine tree was expected to grow.
The y-axis represents the <em>Height of the Tree </em>in inches.

Since the slope o a line is:

$Slope=\frac{Change \ in \ y}{Change \ in \ x}=\frac{2}{3}$

Then, this means that<em> every three months the pine tree grows two inches, </em><em>or </em><em>for every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.</em>

The y-intercept can be found setting $x=0$ . So, from our equation:
