Answer:

y = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = - 1

Slope of the perpendicular line = 1

Point (2,7)

(b) y-intercept= 7 - (1)(2)

= 5

4. Two points on a line are (-10, 1) and (5, -5). If

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope between the two given points

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

we have

$(-10,1),(5,-5)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-5-1}{5+10}$

$m=\frac{-6}{15}$

Simplify

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

step 2

Find the x-coordinate of another point

we have

(x,-3)

we know that

If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same

Find the slope between the points

$(x,-3),(5,-5)$

Remember that

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

substitute in the formula

$-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-5+3}{5-x}$

$-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5-x}$

the denominators must be the same

$5=5-x$

$x=0$

therefore

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

All vertical and horizontal cross sections of any one cube are all the same size and shape. What about vertical and horizontal c

svetlana [45]

Horizontal cross sections are the same shape: they are all squares if the pyramid is square or rectangles if the pyramid is a rectangle pyramid.
Vertical cross sections are different shape: At the pyramid top they are triangles, at other places they have four sides.

Horizontal cross sections are different size: the more we go to the top of the pyramind, the smaller they get.
Vertical cross sections are different size: the closer we get to the edges, the smaller they become.

What is the simplest form of the expression below? <br><br> -2x²(3x²-2x-6)

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Solution Given:

To find the simplest form we need to open bracket

-2x²(3x²-2x-6)

-2x²*3x²-2x²*(-2x) -2x²*(-6)\

$-6x^{4}+4x^{3}+12x^2$ is a required answer.
