Sure you could as long as you have the point.
for example let's say the slope is 2 and the point we are given is (4,4)
we know that:
plug in the values given
x=4
y=4
m=2
b, the y intercept equals -4.
so:
in this case
Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.
or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3
2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.
2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Now we know that system has infinite solution for x
in above equation.
∴
Answer:
(a) 218.6 N
(b) 97.14 N
Step-by-step explanation:
When the system is in equilibrium, the net torque on the system is zero.
AC = 1.5 m, CD = 2.3 m, DB = 5 - 1.5 - 2.3 = 1.2 m
Let the centre of gravity of plank is at G.
AG = 2.5 m, CG = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 m, GB = 2.5 m
(a) Let the reaction at C is R and at D is R'.
R + R' = 29 x 9.8 = 284.2 N ... (1)
Take the torque about C.
29 x 9.8 x CG = R' x GD
29 x 9.8 x 1 = R' x 1.3
R' = 218.6 N
(b) Take the torque about D.
6 x 9.8 x AD = R x CD
6 x 9.8 x (1.5 + 2.3) = R x 2.3
R = 97.14 N
