Write an equation of a line that passes through (3,-2) and (-1,6).
1 answer:
Answer:
-2x -y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for calculating the equation of the line passing through two points is (look at the photo)
3 is x1, -2 is y1, -1 is x2 and 6 is y2
solve: x-3/-1-3 = y-(-2)/6-(-2)
x-3/-4 = y+2/8
transport the second fraction to the left of the equal, then it becomes negative:
x-3/-4 - y+2/8 = 0
do the mcm: -2(x-3)-(y+2) = 0
solve (minus in front of a parenthesis changes all signs inside it): -2x+6-y-2 = 0
-2x+4-y = 0
move the unknowns to the left of the equal:
-2x -y = -4

Theorem: If two chords intersect within a circle, then the product of the lengths of the segments (parts) of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the segments of the other chord.
In your case this theorem sounds as
If AM=7, MB=6, CM=8, then
Note that CD=CM+MD=8+5.25=13.25.
