Determine the equation of the line that passes through the points (-1 , 10) and (2,4)
docker41 [41]

Given:

The two points are (-1,10) and (2,4).

To find:

The equation of line which passes though the given points.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the equation of line is

y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The line passes through (-1,10) and (2,4). So, the equation of line is

y-10=\dfrac{4-10}{2-(-1)}(x-(-1))

y-10=\dfrac{-6}{2+1}(x+1)

y-10=\dfrac{-6}{3}(x+1)

y-10=-2(x+1)

Using distributive property, we get

y-10=-2x-2

Adding 10 both sides, we get

y=-2x-2+10

y=-2x+8

Therefore, the required equation of line is y=-2x+8.

Two points in a transformation are J'(-3, 8) and J(0, 4). Which of the following translations was used?
FinnZ [79.3K]
Coordinate of real point = J(0, 4)
Then, Coordinate of Image = J'(-3, 8)

So, Factor: x = -3-0 = -3
y = 8-4 = 4

So, Your Final Answer would be: Option C) (x-3, y+4)

Hope this helps!

1 + 2k = 5k + 7 I got k=2 don't know if it's the right answer ?
DochEvi [55]
You are close, but it is not the correct answer.

1 + 2k = 5k + 7

First, since we are trying to get the variable by itself, we need to move all things to one side. Let's subtract 1 from each side. 
2k = 5k + 7 - 1

Second, we can now subtract (7 - 1) to get 6. Let's add that into our problem and then subtract 5 from each side, still trying to get the variable by itself.
2k - 5k = 6

Third, subtract (2k - 5k) to get -3k. Hint the negative symbol now. If the problem were switched the other way, it would still be a positive. 
-3k = 6

Fourth, we can now divide each side by -3. This results in a fraction and also getting the variable by itself on one side of the problem. Remember the negative sign in front of the fraction since (-3) carried it.
k = - \frac{6}{3}

Fifth, this is our last step. We need to simplify the fraction. Since out fraction is 6/3, which number multiples by 3 to get the answer of 6? The answer is 2, since (3 × 2 = 6). Don't forget the negative!
k = -2

Answer: \fbox {k = -2}

From the table, the ratio of white socks to brown socks is 9/8
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equivalent ratio it must be multiplied or divided by the same number.

I multiplied 8 by 5 which got me 40

Then I multiplied 9 by 5 which got me 45

This means the equivalent ratio is 45/40
