Write he standard form of the equation; Through: (-1,5) and (1,2)

1 answer:

3 0

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers and a is usually positive

so
first find slope
get into form y=mx+b where m is slope
so
slope between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
points (-1,5) and (1,2)
slope is (2-5)/(1-(-1))=-3/(1+1)=-3/2
y=-3/2x+b
find b
sub a point
(1,2)
2=-3/2(1)+b
2=-3/2+b
4/2=-3/2+b
7/2=b

y=-3/2x+7/2
add 3/2 both sides
3/2x+y=7/2
times 2 both sides
3x+2y=7 is standard form

Sloan [31]

Answer:

21 + 4 = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

this is the answer because the temperature fell 4 degrees in the last hour.

so we have to add back that 4 to get the answer.

our equation will be 21 + 4 equals 25.

hope this helps!

If you draw this as a diagram, you will see that it is a right angled triangle and the missing side is the hypotenuse (the longest side). To calculate this, you will need to use the right angle law:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$
