Write the equation of the line that passes through (−3,1) and (2,−1) in slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is y = mx + b

Where:

m is the slopeb is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line.

Let's call the first point you gave, (-3,1), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,-1), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

[tex]m = -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

[tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x + b[/tex]

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(-3,1). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be 1. (2,-1). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be -1.

Now, look at our line's equation so far: [tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x + b[/tex]. [tex]b[/tex] is what we want, the -[tex]-\frac{2}{5}[/tex] is already set and x and y are just two 'free variables' sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (-3,1) and (2,-1).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!

You can use either (x,y) point you want. The answer will be the same:

(-3,1). y = mx + b or [tex]1=-\frac{2}{5} * -3 + b[/tex], or solving for b: [tex]b = 1-(-\frac{2}{5})(-3)[/tex].[tex]b = -\frac{1}{5}[/tex]. (2,-1). y = mx + b or [tex]-1=-\frac{2}{5} * 2 + b[/tex], or solving for b: [tex]b = 1-(-\frac{2}{5})(2)[/tex]. [tex]b = -\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

See! In both cases, we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points  (-3,1) and (2,-1) is [tex]y=-\frac{2}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Answer:

The area of the triangle is 351cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, the formula is (1/2) x base x height. In this case, the height would be a line that cuts straight through the center of the triangle. However, this height is not given to us. We can still find it through Pythagoras' Theorem though.

Let A be the tip of the triangle, and B and C be the points on either side of the triangle. Assuming an imaginary line that cuts the triangle in a symmetrical half, let T be the point at the end of the line, directly below point A.

Using Pythagoras' Theorem,

AB^2 = AT^2 + TB^2

AT^2 = AB^2 - TB^2

AT^2 = 30^2 - (26/2)^2

AT^2 = 30^2 - 13^2

AT =

[tex] \sqrt{ {30}^{2} - {13}^{2} } [/tex]

AT = 27.0370116692

So the length of AT is our height. We can now find the area of the triangle.

Area of triangle = (1/2) x 26cm x AT

Area of triangle = 351.4811516996

Area of triangle = 351cm^2 (To 3s.f.)

StartFraction 1 Over 45 EndFraction of a yard
StartFraction 5 Over 64 EndFraction of a yard
StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction of a yard

Answers

Answer:

StartFraction 1 Over 45 EndFraction of a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the wooden dowel rod = 8/15 of a yard

Number of pieces = 24

What is the length of each piece of dowel rod?

Length of each piece of dowel rod = Total length of wooden dowel rod / number of pieces

= 8/15 ÷ 24

= 8/15 × 1/24

= (8*1) / (15*24)

= 8/360

= 1/45

Length of each piece of dowel rod = 1/45 of a yard

Nadia thinks of a number she finds the squre root and the divides it by 5 her answer is 20 what number is she thinking of

Answers

Answer:

10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Square root of x divided by 5 equals 20

√x / 5 = 20

Using cross multiplication

√x = 20 * 5

√x = 100

Take the square of both sides

(√x)² = 100²

x = 10000

Therefore, the number is 10000

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Rearrange terms

9-2x=35

-2x+9=35

Step 2: Subtract from both sides of the equation

-2x+9-9=35-9

Step 3: Simplify

-2x+0=26

-2x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

-2x/-2 = 26/-2

Step 5: Simplify

x = 26/-2

Answers

Answer:92.84

Step-by-step explanation: 39+27+13.5+13.5 because the two sides are longer than 12

The perimeter of the trapezium is 143.94 ft.

We have,

The perimeter of an isosceles trapezium can be found by adding the lengths of all four sides.

In this case, the trapezium has height = 12 ft and parallel sides of length 27 ft and 39 ft.

To find the length of the non-parallel sides we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

a² = (39 - 27/2)² + 12²

a² = 1440

a ≈ 37.95 ft

Therefore,

The perimeter of the trapezium is:

P = 27 + 39 + 2a

P ≈ 27 + 39 + 2(37.95)

P ≈ 143.9 ft

Rounding to the nearest hundredth place,

we get P ≈ 143.94 ft.

Thus,

The perimeter of the trapezium is 143.94 ft.

104 in squared

Answer:

104ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for area of a triangle = [tex]A=\frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

where b = base length and h = height

The triangle shown has a base length of 16 ft and a height of 13 ft

Using this information we plug in the values into the formula

[tex]A=\frac{16*13}{2}\\16*13=208\\\frac{208}{2} =104\\A=104ft^2[/tex]

Hence, the answer is 104ft²
