Write the Slope-Intercept and Point-Slope forms of the line passing through the point (-3, 2) and having a slope of -4/5

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

slope-intercept: $y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}$

point-slope: $y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is written as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The point-slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a given point and m is the slope.

Here, we see that the slope is -4/5, which means that m = -4/5. Since we're given a point (-3, 2), let's go ahead and just write the point-slope form already. (x1, y1) = (-3, 2) so x1 = -3 and y1 = 2. Then:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = (-4/5) * (x + 3)

$y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)$

Now, we want to find the slope-intercept form, so we need to figure out the y-intercept. Well, first, let's plug in what we know:

y = mx + b

y = (-4/5)x + b

Any point on this line will satisfy the above equation. Since (-3, 2) is on this line, if we plug -3 in for x and 2 in for y, the equation should hold true, so we can solve for b:

y = (-4/5)x + b

2 = (-4/5) * (-3) + b

2 = 12/5 + b

b = -2/5

So, the y-intercept is -2/5. Then the slope-intercept form is:

$y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}$

Thus, our two equations are:

slope-intercept: $y=\frac{-4}{5} x-\frac{2}{5}$

point-slope: $y-2=\frac{-4}{5} (x+3)$

Jerome found the lengths of each side of triangle QRS as shown, but did not simplify his answers. Simplify the lengths of each s

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

D. Triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle because QR = RS.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the length of each side of the triangle using the formula for calculating the distance between two points.

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For side RS

R(0,0) and S(5, -3.322)

RS = √(5-0)²+(-3.322-0)²

RS = √25+11.035684

RS = √36.035684

RS = 6.0029

For side RQ

R(0,0) and Q(-3, -5.2)

RQ = √(-3-0)²+(-5.2-0)²

RQ = √9+27.04

RQ = √36.04

RQ = 6.0033

For side QS

Q(-3,-5.2) and S(5, -3.322)

QS = √(5+3)²+(-3.322+5.2)²

QS = √64+3.526884

QS = √67.526884

QS = 8.22

From the calculation it can be seen that RS=QR

Since the two sides f the triangle are equal, hence the triangle is an isosceles triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two of its sides equal

This graph shows the temperature of a room over time.

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is C. Aaron turns on the heat and the temperature of a conference room steadily increases. After the room becomes a comfortable temperature, Aaron turns off the heat and the temperature in the room stays the same for a while. Aaron’s coworker says it is too hot in the room, so Aaron turns on the air conditioner. The temperature in the room steadily decreases. Aaron gets cold again and turns the heat back on so that the temperature of the room steadily increases. Again, when the room becomes comfortable, Aaron turns off the heat and the temperature of the room stays the same.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's see what happens in the conference room the first 20 minutes, according to the graph:

The temperature increase from 65 °F to 75 °F. This fact discards immediately answer B, that mentions that "the temperature of the room decreases steadily to a comfortable temperature".

2. Let's see what happens in the conference room the next 20 minutes (between minutes 20 and 40), according to the graph:

The temperature remains at 75 °F, at a comfortable temperature, during these 20 minutes. This fact discards answer D because it mentions that the "room becomes too hot", which is not true because the additional 10 °F of increase is most likely, not "too much" and it also considers 65 °F as "too cold".

3. Let's see what happens in the conference room between minutes 40 and 50, according to the graph:

In ten minutes, the temperature decreases from 75 °F to 65 °F, which was the original temperature of the room. No big difference between answers A and C, the only that are still valid.

4. Let's see what happens in the conference room between minutes 50 and 80, according to the graph:

In these 30 minutes, the temperature of the conference room again increases between minutes 50 and 70 from 65 °F to 75 °F. This last fact discards the answer A, that mentions that " finally, Aaron turns the heat back on and the temperature of the room increases steadily for the rest of the conference". What actually happened is that the temperature becomes comfortable again and stays the same the rest of the conference.

<u>This is a detailed explanation why we discard answers A, C and D and we select answer C as the right one.</u>
