Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-1,-4) and (5,-2)

Answers

Answer 1
Linear Equations

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m = the slope of the lineb = the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

To determine a linear equation in slope-intercept form:

Find the slopePlug the slope into y=mx+bFind the y-interceptPlug the y-intercept into y=mx+b

Solving the Question

We're given:

The line passes through the points (-1,-4) and (5,-2)

First, find the slope of the line (m):

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that fall on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

⇒ Plug in the given points (-1,-4) and (5,-2):

[tex]m=\dfrac{-2-(-4)}{5-(-1)}\\\\m=\dfrac{-2+4}{5+1}\\\\m=\dfrac{2}{6}\\\\m=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

⇒ Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]. Plug this into y=mx+b:

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]

Now, determine the y-intercept (b):

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b[/tex]

⇒ Plug in one of the points and solve for b:

[tex]-4=\dfrac{1}{3}(-1)+b\\\\-4=-\dfrac{1}{3}+b\\\\-4+\dfrac{1}{3}=b\\\\b=-\dfrac{11}{3}[/tex]

⇒ Therefore, the y-intercept is [tex]-\dfrac{11}{3}[/tex]. Plug this back into our original equation:

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{3}x-\dfrac{11}{3}[/tex]

Answer

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{3}x-\dfrac{11}{3}[/tex]

Find the values of x and y. Write your answers in the simplest form.

Answers

Answer: [tex]x=18[/tex] ; [tex]y=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write two expressions that are in terms of 'x' and 'y'. This is a right triangle, so Pythagorean's theorem can be used. We can also use the angle to find the sine of 30 degrees.

Pythagorean's Theorem:

The values 'a' and 'b' are the two shorter sides of the triangle, while the value 'c' is the longest side of the triangle; the hypotenuse.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=(12\sqrt{3} )^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=12^2*\sqrt{3} ^2=432[/tex]

Sine of the Angle:

Sine is defined to be the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. Let's take the sine of 30 degrees:

[tex]sin(\alpha )=opposite/hypotenuse[/tex]

[tex]sin(30)=y/12\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} =y/12\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Plug this value of 'y' into the first expression derived from Pythagorean's theorem:

[tex]x^2+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2+(6\sqrt{3} )^2=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2+108=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2=432-108=324[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{324}[/tex]

[tex]x=18[/tex]

Use this value of 'x' to solve for 'y' in the expression from Pythagorean's theorem:

[tex](\sqrt{324})^2+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]324+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]y^2=432-324=108[/tex]

[tex]y=\sqrt{108}[/tex]

[tex]y=\sqrt{36*3}[/tex]

[tex]y=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Pattern A follows the rule “add 3”.
Pattern B follows the rule “add 4”.
How does each of the first 5 terms in Pattern A compare to the first 5 terms in Pattern B?

Answers

Pattern A = 1, 4, 7, 10, 13

Pattern B = 1, 5, 9, 13, 17

Each term is increases at a faster rate in pattern B; the difference between terms increases by one per step. In pattern A, 1 jumps to 4, while in pattern B, 1 jumps to 5. There is a difference of one. But when in pattern A, 4 jumps to 7, in pattern B, 5 jumps to 9. The is a difference of two between these two terms even though they are on the same "jump." This difference increases by one per "jump." (Jump is not the official word for this but I'm assuming this isn't a sequence problem.)

1. Mrs. Rodger got a weekly raise of $145. If she gets paid every other week, write an integer describing how the raise will affect her paycheck.​

Answers

given:

weekly raise= $145

solution:

let's assume the first paycheck as x.

she got a weekly raise of $145.

So, after concluding the first week she'll get $ (x+145).

likewise, after completing the second week she'll get $ (x + 145) + $ 145.

= $ (x + 145 + 145)

= $ (x + 290)

therefore, this is how her salary will get increased by $145 at the end of every week.

the sum of the digits of a two - digit number is 14 . if the digits are reversed, the number increases by 36 . find the number .​

Answers

༆ Answer :- 59༆ Solution :-

Let the tens digit of the number be x .

ones digit = ( 14 - x ) ( since the sum of the 2 digits is 14 )

Two - Digit number = 10 ( tens digit ) + ones digit

Required number ,

10x + ( 14 - x ) 10x - x + 14 9x + 14

Reversed number ,

10 ( 14 - x ) + x 140 - 10x + x 140 - 9x

Given ,

Reversed number - Required number = 36

✯ 140 - 9x - ( 9x + 14 ) = 36

✯ 140 - 9x - 9x - 14 = 36

✯ 126 - 18x = 36

✯ 126 - 36 = 18x

✯ 18x = 90

✯ x = 5

Ten digits , x = 5 Ones digits = ( 14 - x ) = 14 - 5 = 9

Thus , Required number is 10 × 5 + 9 = 59

Given -

the sum of the digits of a two - digit number is 14.

i.e, if two numbers are x and y then, x + y = 14

if the digits are reversed, the number increases by 36

i.e, if 10y + x then 10y + x = 10x + y + 36.

To find -

the number

Concept -

If a, b and c are real number (and if a and b both are not equal to 0) then ax+by=c is called a linear equation in two variables (The two variables are x and y)

The numbers a and b are called the coefficient of the equation ax+by=c. The number r is called the constant of the equation ax+by = c

PS - first we will construct two linear equations and then we'll find the number.

Solution -

Let, x + y = 14

➜ y = 14 - x ----(i)

and we'll solve 10y + x = 10x + y + 36 further,

➜ 10y + x = 10x + y + 36

➜ 10y - y = 10x - x + 36

➜ 9y = 9x + 36

➜ 9x - 9y = -36

➜ 9(x - y) = -36

➜ x - y = -4 ----(ii)

Substituting the value of y (in equation (i)) in equation (ii),

➜ x - (14 - x) = -4

➜ x - 14 + x = -4

➜ 2x = -4 + 14

➜ 2x = 10

➜ x = 10/2

x = 5

Now to find the value of y we will substitute the value of x in equation (i),

➜ y = 14 - 5

y = 9

Therefore, the number is {10(5)+9,i.e,} 59.

What is the Equation of a Line of Best Fit?

The equation of a line of best fit is represented by the equation, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the initial value.

1. Using two points, (72, 20) and (20, 80):

Slope (m) = change in y / change in x = (80 - 20)/(20 - 72) = 60/-52

Slope (m) = -1.15.

Substitute m = -3 and (a, b) = (72, 20) into y - b = m(x - a)

y - 20 = -1.15(x - 72)

y - 20 = -1.15x + 82.8

y = -1.15x + 82.8 + 20

y = -1.15x + 102.8

The equation of the best line of fit is y = -1.15x + 102.8.

2. Monthly heating cost, y, for a month with an average temperature of 35°F (x) will be calculated by substituting x = 35 into y = -1.15x + 102.8.

y = -1.15(35) + 102.8

y = 62.55

y=-3x - 6 is shown by graph B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In y=-x2 - 8x – 18, the coefficient of x2 is less than 0.So the graph only has a maximum value.Thefore , the graph is point upward.

In y=x2 - 4x + 7, coefficient of x2 is greater than 0.

So the graph has a minimum point and is pointed downward.

for y =x + 5, the gradient is positive.so it is graph C.There is another way to find out too but this is quicker for now.

By using what we know about intersecting lines, we will see that:

a) ∡7 = 47°b) 47° + (2x - 5)° = 180°c) x = 69

How to get the measures of the angles for two intersecting lines?

When two lines intersect, 4 angles are formed. There are two properties that these angles have.

If the angles are adjacent, then their measures add up to 180°If the angles are not adjacent, these angles have the same measure.

a) We know that ∡5 = 47°

And 7 is not adjacent to 5, then 7 has the same measure:

∡7 = 47°

b) 6 and 5 are adjacent, then we must have that:

∡5 + ∡6 = 180°

47° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

That is the equation we need to solve to get the value of x.

c) To solve the linear equation we need to isolate x, let's do that:

47° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

(2x - 5)° = 180° - 47° = 133°

2x - 5 = 133

2x = 133 + 5 = 138

x = 138/2 = 69.

Answer:

a)  <5 and <7 have congruent angles. That means that both angles are equal, they have the same measure. This means that the measure of <7 is 47°.

b) 5 and 6 are adjacent, so this is the equation that we have to do to solve for the value of x.

<5 + <6 = 180°

47° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

c) To solve the linear equation we need to isolate x.

47° + (2x - 5)° = 180°

(2x - 5)° = 180° - 47° = 133°

2x - 5 = 133
