Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -3x+5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3.

We are given a point and the slope, so we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through.

The line has a slope of -3 and passes through (2, -1).

  • m= -3
  • x₁= 2
  • y₁= -1

Substitute the values into the formula.

y--1= -3 (x-2)

y+1= -3 (x-2)

Distribute the -3 on the right side. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -3.

y+1 = (-3*x) + (-3*-2)

y+1=(-3x) + (6)

y+1=-3x+6

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable y.

y+1-1=-3x+6-1

y=-3x +5

The equation of the line is <u>y= -3x+5.</u>

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope or gradient (=-3)

y=-3x+b  

Add your points

(2, -1)

-1=(-3 x 2)+b

-1= -6+b

-1+6=b

b=5

y=-3x+5

A student factors 3x2 – 12 to the following.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:  The Expression is Equivalent, However, NOT completely factored.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2     -     12  

Following:

3 ( x^2    -    4   )

Factor:

3x^2   -  12

Factor Out Common Term 3:

3 ( x^2    -  4  )  =  3 (x^2  -  4 )

Factor:

x^2  -  4

( x  +   2 )  ( x   -  2 )

Answer:

3 ( x  +  2) ( x  -  2)

Hence, The Expression is Equivalent, However,  Wasn't Completely Factored.

Hope that helps!

Round to the nearest hundredth if so. Use 3.14 as pi <br>8. r=<br> d =<br> C=78.8 ft​
Kryger [21]

Answer: The radius is 12.54 feet, and the diameter is 25.08 feet.

Explanation: By applying the circumference into the equation r = \frac{C}{2\pi }, we get r = \frac{78.8}{2\pi }which simplifies the radius. And since radius is half of diameter, we multiply by 2 to get the diameter as well to solve the other blank in the problem.

Hope this helps! :D
