Let's set it up like this:

Multiply both sides by



We are then going to use the distributive property. Since we also know that the opposite of an number that is squared is the square root, we can also apply that. We would be left with something like this:

The variable

can be both positive or negative.

We know that
to find the equation of a line i need two points
let
point A-----> (-21,10)
point B-----> (-28,14)
step 1
find the slope m
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)-----> m=(14-10)/(-28+21)----> m=-4/7
step 2
find the equation of a line with
m=-4/7 and the point A (-21,10)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y-10=(-4/7)*(x+21)---> y=(-4/7)x-12+10
y=(-4/7)x-2
step 3
find x intercept
for y=0
y=(-4/7)x-2------> 0=(-4/7)x-2-----> 4/7x=-2----> x=-14/4----> x=-3.5
the x intercept is (-3.5,0)
step 4
find the y intercept
for x=0
y=(-4/7)x-2--------> y=-2
the y intercept is (0,-2)
the answers arethe x intercept is (-3.5,0)the y intercept is (0,-2)
see the attached figure
Answer:
8x+y-13=0
Step-by-step explanation:
let the given point be
A(1,5)=(x1,y1)
slope(m)= -8
then,equation of straight line is,
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
(y-5)= -8(x-1)
y-5= -8x+8
8x+y-5-8=0
therefore,8x+y-13=0 ..........(i) is the required equation.
The answer to this question is 48.
