First find slope
(y2-y1)/(x2-x2)
Use points (1,2) and (-1,-6)
(-6-2)/(-1-1) = -8/-2 = 4
Slope int equation: y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y intercept
Plug in what we know (use any point)
2 = 4(1) + b
2 = 4 + b, b = -2
Equation: y = 4x - 2
Plug in y = 26
26 = 4x - 2
28 = 4x, x = 7
Solution: x = 7

Answer:

y = 4x - 2

When y = 26, x = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the two points on the line to calculate the slope of the line, then use this slope and the y-intercept to write an equation for the line.

Slope formula:

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

We have these two points on the graph: (1, 2), (-1, -6).

Substitute these points into the slope formula and find the slope of the line.

(-6-2)/(-1-1)
(-8)/(-2)
4

The slope of the line is 4. Now, use the point-slope formula to write an equation for the line.

Point-slope formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 4(x - 1)
y -2 = 4x - 4
y = 4x - 2

To find the value of x when y = 26, substitute y = 26 into the equation and solve for x.

26 = 4x - 2
28 = 4x
x = 7

What is the answer to this decimal problem 0.32÷n=0.032

11111nata11111 [884]

10 because you know that the decimal moves one to the left if you are dividing by ten and one to the right if you are multiplying by ten.

Check your work. 0.32 divided by 10 is 0.032

Which equation is equivalent to the equation x^2+y^2= 25?

satela [25.4K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

D. y = ±√(25 -x²)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract x² and take the square root to solve for y.

x² +y² = 25 . . . . . . . given

y² = 25 -x² . . . . . . . . subtract x²

y = ±√(25 -x²) . . . . . take the square root

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints give (3,5) and (-2,0)

Leto [7]

Answer:

The coordinates of the mid-point are :

$(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{2})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, the coordinates of the mid-point (x, y) of a line segment joining the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by

$(x, y) = (\frac{x_{1} +x_{2} }{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2} )$

Now, we have the given points as (3, 5) and (-2, 0).

By using the above formula, coordinates of the mid-point (x, y) of the line-segment joining the points (3, 5) and (-2, 0) is given by,

$x = \frac{3+(-2)}{2} = \frac{3-2}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{5+0}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$

∴ coordinates of the mid-point of the line-segment joining the points (3,5) and (-2,0) is $(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{2})$ .
