Answer:

-x aka -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x1 y1 x2 y2

9 -2 4 3

m= y2 - y1/x2 - x1

m = 3 + 2/4 - 9

(The "-" sign turned positive because it is negative times negative)

5/-5

Simplify: 5/-5 = -1 = -x

The slope of this line is -x

Evaluate the integral Integral ∫ from (1,2,3 ) to (5, 7,-2 ) y dx + x dy + 4 dz by finding parametric equations for the line seg

n200080 [17]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath+3\,\vec k$

is conservative if there is a scalar function $f(x,y,z)$ such that $\nabla f=\vec F$ . This would require

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=y$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3$

(or perhaps the last partial derivative should be 4 to match up with the integral?)

From these equations we find

$f(x,y,z)=xy+g(y,z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=x=x+\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}\implies\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial y}=0\implies g(y,z)=h(z)$

$f(x,y,z)=xy+h(z)$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=3=\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dz}\implies h(z)=3z+C$

$f(x,y,z)=xy+3z+C$

so $\vec F$ is indeed conservative, and the gradient theorem (a.k.a. fundamental theorem of calculus for line integrals) applies. The value of the line integral depends only the endpoints:
