12=1.5b+3g
12=[1.5(4)]+3g
3g=12-[1.5x4]
G=12-6/3
G=2

Write an equation (a) in slope-intercept form and (b) in standard form for the line passing through (-3,5) and parallel to x + 4

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Standard-form :x + 4y -17=0 }\\$

$\boxed{\sf Slope-intercept\ form :y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here a equation of the line is given to us and we need to find out the equation of line which passes through the given point and parallel to the given line , the given equation is ,

$\longrightarrow x + 4y = 7\\$

Firstly convert it into <em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em>p</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em> </em>of the line which is <u>y</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u>, as ;

$\longrightarrow 4y = -x + 7 \\$

$\longrightarrow y =\dfrac{-x}{4}+\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

On comparing it to <em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m</em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>c</em><em> </em>, we have ,

$\longrightarrow m =\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

$\longrightarrow c =\dfrac{7}{4}\\$

Now as we know that the <em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>w</em><em>o</em><em> </em><em>p</em><em>a</em><em>r</em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>a</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em> </em>. Therefore the slope of the parallel line will be ,

$\longrightarrow m_{||)}=\dfrac{-1}{4}\\$

Now we may use <em>p</em><em>o</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>l</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em> </em>of the line as ,

$\longrightarrow y - y_1 = m(x-x_1) \\$

On substituting the respective values ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 =\dfrac{-1}{4}\{ x -(-3)\}\\$

$\longrightarrow y -5=\dfrac{-1}{4}(x+3)\\$

$\longrightarrow 4(y -5 ) =-1(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow 4y -20 = - x -3 \\$

$\longrightarrow x + 4y -20+3=0\\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Standard \ Form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ x + 4y -17=0}}}} \\$

Again the equation can be rewritten as ,

$\longrightarrow y - 5 = \dfrac{-1}{4}(x +3) \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{3}{4}+5 \\$

$\longrightarrow y = \dfrac{-1}{4}x -\dfrac{20-3}{4} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underset{Slope-Intercept\ form }{\underbrace{\underline{\underline{ y =\dfrac{-1}{4}x +\dfrac{17}{4}}}}}\\$

Factor -7x3 + 21x2 + 3x - 9 by grouping. What is the resulting expression?

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$(x-3)(-7x^2+3)$ is the resulting expression after grouping

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$-7x^3+21x^2+3x-9$

Now taking common $-7x^2$ from 1st 2 numbers and and 3 common from last we get

$-7x^2(x-3)+3(x-3)$

Now taking x-3 common from both numbers we get

$(x-3)(-7x^2+3)$ which is the final equation after grouping
