M=-1/2 because you do y1-y2 over x1-x2 and end up with 2/-4 but simplified is -1/2
This problem can be readily solved if we are familiar with the point-slope form of straight lines:
y-y0=m(x-x0) ...................................(1)
where
m=slope of line
(x0,y0) is a point through which the line passes.
We know that the line passes through A(3,-6), B(1,2)
All options have a slope of -4, so that should not be a problem. In fact, if we check the slope=(yb-ya)/(xb-xa), we do find that the slope m=-4.
So we can check which line passes through which point:
a. y+6=-4(x-3)
Rearrange to the form of equation (1) above,
y-(-6)=-4(x-3) means that line passes through A(3,-6) => ok
b. y-1=-4(x-2) means line passes through (2,1), which is neither A nor B
****** this equation is not the line passing through A & B *****
c. y=-4x+6 subtract 2 from both sides (to make the y-coordinate 2)
y-2 = -4x+4, rearrange
y-2 = -4(x-1)
which means that it passes through B(1,2), so ok
d. y-2=-4(x-1)
this is the same as the previous equation, so it passes through B(1,2),
this equation is ok.
Answer: the equation y-1=-4(x-2) does NOT pass through both A and B.
Answer:
3) 12 yd^2
4) 27.5 m^2
5) 48 ft^2
6) 96 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
3) 4(2x3x0.5) = 12 yd^2
4) (9x5)-(0.5)(7x5) = 27.5 m^2
5) (10x6)-(6x2) = 48 ft^2
6) 12x8 = 96 m^2
How old is Tracy? Seriously it just says 6 the only number and who is younger than Tracy?!
