Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through point (2, -1) and is parallel to the line described y

hammer [34]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\y=\frac{2}{3}x-6$

the line parallel to this line is

$y=\frac{2}{3}x+k$ ; k ∈ R

the line passes through the point (2,-1)

so,

$-1=\frac{2}{3} (2)+k\\-1=\frac{4}{3} +k\\k=-\frac{7}{3}$

∴the line that passes through point (2, -1) and is parallel to the line described y = (2/3)x - 6 is

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{7}{3}$

The difference of the square of a number and 28 is equal to 3 times that number

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

- 4, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Therefore, according to the given condition:

${x}^{2} - 28 = 3x \\ {x}^{2} - 3x - 28 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 7x + 4x - 28 = 0 \\ x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0 \\ (x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 \\ x - 7 = 0 \: or \: x + 4 = 0 \\ x = 7 \: or \: x = - 4 \\$
