What is the equation of the line that passes through the point

Mathematics

attashe74 [19]3 years ago

Answer:

(y+2)= -3(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope-intercept formula to write this equation. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:  

y = m x + b

 Where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept value.

We can substitute the slope into the formula giving:

y = − 3 x + b

Next, we can substitute the values from the points in the problem for  x  and  y  and solve for  b :

− 2 = ( − 3x 7 ) + b  

− 2 =  − 21 + b

21 − 2 = 21  − 21 + b

 19 = 0 + b

19 = b

We can now substitute the slope from the problem and the value for  b  we calculated into the formula to write the equation.

y = − 3 x + 19

Another process is to use the point-slope formula. The point-slope formula states:

 ( y − y 1 ) = m ( x − x 1 )

 Where  m  is the slope and  ( x 1 , y1 )  is a point the line passes through.

Substituting the slope and values from the points in the problem gives:

(y − − 2 ) = − 3 (x-7)

( y + 2 ) =  − 3 ( x − 7 )

What is the length of the longest side of a triangle that has vertices at (7, 6), (7, 1), and (-5, 6)?
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The Answer is going to be B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between each pair of points using the distance formula Sqrt((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2),(x1 and x2 are the x ordinates of each point, and y1 and y2 are the y ordinates. Sqrt stands for square root, and ^2 is to the power of two.

Using this we can find the side between 7,6 and 7,1 is 5.

The side between 7,1 and -5,6 is 13

The side between 7,6 and -5,6 is 12

After using the formula we can conclude the side between 7,1 and -5,6 is the longest, and it equals 13. Therefore the answer is B.
