Answer:

$y=3x+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (0, 1) = (x1, y1)
Point B = (-2, -5) = (x2, y2)

In order to find the answer, we must first find the slope of the two given points by using rise over run.

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
$m=\frac{-5-1}{-2-0}$
$m=\frac{-5-1}{-2-0} =\frac{-6}{-2}$
$=\frac{-6}{-2} =-6\div-2=3$
$m=3$

Now that we know the slope, we can now write the equation in slope intercept form.

$y=mx+b$
$m=3$
$y=1$
$x=0$
<u>
Substitute:</u>

$1=3(0)+b$
$3\times0=0$
$1=b$
$b=1$
$y=3x+1$

Hope this helps.

Katalene wants to make a quilt in the shape of a golden rectangle. She only has enough binding material for a quilt with a perim

lara31 [8.8K]

All of these choices would result in a 29-ft perimeter for the quilt.
But choice-b is significantly closer to the golden ratio than the others are.
Golden Ratio = (1/2) (1 + √5) = 1.618... (rounded)
Choice a). 1.665
Choice b). 1.617 the answer is "B"
Choice c). 1.526
Choice d). 1.5709

Do you think any ordered pairs are solutions to BOTH y=x+5 and y=-2x-1? Explain.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

ordered pair(-2 , 3) is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x+5

y=-2x-1

x+5 = -2x-1 substitution

x+5+2x-5 = -2x-1+2x-5

3x = -6

x = -2

y = -2+5 = 3

ordered pair(-2 , 3) is the solution

The vertices of a square CDEF are C(1,1), D(3,1), E(3,-1) and F(1,-1). What formulas prove that the diagonals are congruent perp

Oxana [17]

To prove that the diagonals are congruent, you need to formula to compute the distance between two points:

$d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_x-B_x)^2 + (A_y-B_y)^2}$

Using that formula, you may prove that $d(C,E) = d(D,F)$ , which means that the two diagonals have the same length.

To prove that they are perpendicular, you need the formula to compute the slope of a segment. The slope, knowing the enpoints, is given by

$m = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \cfrac{A_y-B_y}{A_x-B_x}$

You can use this formula to prove that

$m_{CE} = -\cfrac{1}{m_{DF}}$

In fact, if one slope is the opposite of the reciprocal of the other, the two segments are perpendicular.

Finally, to prove that they bisect each other, you first need to find the point where they meet. First of all, you need to find the line the segments lie on: the formula is

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$

where $(x_0,y_0)$ is one of the points belonging to the line, and you already know how to find the slope. Then, you find the point of intersection, say A, by solving the system involving the two lines:
