Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (0, 2).

arsen [322]

Answer:

$y=-2x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where the two given points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Plug in the given points (-1, 4) and (0, 2)

$=\frac{2-4}{0-(-1)}\\=\frac{-2}{0+1}\\=\frac{-2}{1}\\= -2$

Therefore, the slope of the line is -2. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-2x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=-2x+b$

Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis, meaning that the y-intercept occurs when x is equal to 0.

One of the given points is (0,2). Notice how y=2 when x=0. Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 2.

Plug this back into the equation:

$y=-2x+2$

I hope this helps!

Find four numbers that form a geometric progression such that the third term is greater than the first by 12 and the fourth is g

olchik [2.2K]

If $x$ is the first number in the progression, and $r$ is the common ratio between consecutive terms, then the first four terms in the progression are

$\{x,xr,xr^2,xr^3\}$

We want to have

$\begin{cases}xr^2-x=12\\xr^3-xr=36\end{cases}$

In the second equation, we have

$xr^3-xr=xr(r^2-1)=36$

and in the first, we have

$xr^2-x=x(r^2-1)=12$

Substituting this into the second equation, we find

$xr(r^2-1)=12r=36\implies r=3$

So now we have

$\begin{cases}9x-x=12\\27x-3x=36\end{cases}\implies x=\dfrac32$

Then the four numbers are

$\left\{\dfrac32,\dfrac92,\dfrac{27}2,\dfrac{81}2\right\}$
