The answer should be (C):y=(-3/7)x+3 because:
if you use the slope formula: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) it would look like this:
(0-3)/(7-0) and the slope of the line would be -3/7
then using the slope you just found, plug it into the y=mx+b equation along with one set of coordinates to find b (the y-intercept):
y=mx+b
0=(-3/7)(7)+b
b=3
SO, overall if you put the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) that you found together, you get the line formula of y=(-3/7)+3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a segment is
sqrt( ( y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)
sqrt( ( a-4 - -1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)
sqrt( ( a-4 +1)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)
Combine like terms
sqrt( ( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 2 sqrt(10)
Square each side
( a-3)^2 + (2a -4) ^2) = 4 *(10)
FOIL the left side
a^2 -6a +9 + 4a^2 -16a +16 = 40
Combine like terms
5a^2 -22a +25 = 40
Subtract 40 from each side
5a^2 -22a -15 =0
Factor
(a - 5) (5 a + 3) = 0
Using the zero product property
a-5 =0 5a +3 = 0
a = 5 5a = -3
a=5 a = -3/5
The product of the terms is
5 * -3/5 = -3
40 - 3k + 10k = -10 - 8k - 10
40 + 7k = -10 - 8k - 10
40 + 7k = -8k - 20
40 + 7k - 40 = -8k - 20 - 40
7k = -8k - 60
7k + 8k = -8k - 60 + 8k
15k = -60
15k/15 = -60/15
k = -4
Answer:
(6,15)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1) gradient (00) (-2 4) = y2-y1 / 2-1 = 4/-2 = -2 m = -2/1 means = m = -2 (negative slope) 2) gradient y2-y1 / x2-x1 = 3-0 / 2-0 = 3/2 = (1 1/2)/1 m = 1 1/2 (positive slope) we use the formula y-values divided by the change in the x-values. The equation of the gradient each goes like this 1) y = -2x as y is at origin nothing else to add The equation of the gradient each goes like this 2) y = 1 1/2x The equation of the point formula 1) we take the y -y1 = m (x +x 1) = y-0 = -2x (x +0) (as m = -2) y = -2(x +0) and The equation of the point formula 2) y - 0 = m ( x +x1) y - 0 = 1 1/2( x +0) = y = 1 1/2( x +0)
