Answer:

y = -7x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (4,-6)

(x_2,y_2) = (2,8)

Required

Determine the line equation

This question will be answered using linear interpolation.

This is represented as thus:

\frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Substitute values for x1,x2,y1 and y2

\frac{y - (-6)}{x - 4} = \frac{8 - (-6)}{2 - 4}

\frac{y +6}{x - 4} = \frac{8 +6}{2 - 4}

\frac{y +6}{x - 4} = \frac{14}{-2}

\frac{y +6}{x - 4} =-7

Cross Multiply

y + 6 = -7(x - 4)

y + 6 = -7x + 28

Make y the subject

y = -7x + 28-6

y = -7x + 22

Lim t^4 - 6 / 2t^2 - 3t + 7
Harman [31]

I think you meant to say

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}\frac{t^4-6}{2t^2-3t+7}

(as opposed to <em>x</em> approaching 2)

Since both the numerator and denominator are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, the limit of the ratio is equal to a ratio of limits. In other words, the limit operator distributes over the quotient:

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2} \frac{t^4 - 6}{2t^2 - 3t + 7} = \frac{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(t^4-6)}{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(2t^2-3t+7)}

Because these expressions are continuous at <em>t</em> = 2, we can compute the limits by evaluating the limands directly at 2:

\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2} \frac{t^4 - 6}{2t^2 - 3t + 7} = \frac{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(t^4-6)}{\displaystyle \lim_{t\to2}(2t^2-3t+7)} = \frac{2^4-6}{2\cdot2^2-3\cdot2+7} = \boxed{\frac{10}9}

<u>x = 9</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

mean = 5+7+7+x /4 = 7

19+x / 4 = 7

19+x = 28

x = 9
