Find an equation of the line that goes through the points (8,-45) and (2,-9). Write your answer in the form y = mx + b.

Answers

Answer 1
Linear Equations

Linear equations are commonly organized in slope-intercept form:

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

m = slopeb = the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0)

To find the equation of a line given two points:

Determine the slope of the line using the slope formulaPlug the slope into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]Determine the y-intercept by solving for bPlug the y-intercept back into the equation

Solving the Question

We're given:

The line passes through the points (8,-45) and (2,-9)

First, determine the slope using the following formula:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

⇒ Plug in the given points (8,-45) and (2,-9):

[tex]m=\dfrac{-45-(-9)}{8-2}\\\\m=\dfrac{-45+9}{8-2}\\\\m=\dfrac{-36}{6}\\\\m=-6[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is -6. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] as m:

[tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]

Now, determine the y-intercept:

[tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]

⇒ Plug in one of the given points as (x,y) and solve for b:

[tex]-9=-6(2)+b\\-9=-12+b\\3=b[/tex]

Therefore the y-intercept of the line is 3. Plug this back into [tex]y=-6x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-6x+3[/tex]

Answer

[tex]y=-6x+3[/tex]

Find
a
and
d
for an arithmetic sequence where the 5th term is 10 and the 6th term is 8.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequence:

[tex]\boxed{a_n =a + (n-1)*d)}[/tex]

a₅ = 10    a + 4d = 10

a₆ = 8     a + 5d = 8

Multiply the equation (I) by (-1) and then add. 'a' will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'd'

(I)*(-1)     -a - 4d = -10

(II)          a + 5d = 8     {Now add}

                     d = -2

Substitute d = -2 in equation (I)

 a + 4*(-2) = 10

 a -  8       = 10

           a   = 10 + 8

a =  18

a = 18 , d = -2

Sequence:  18 ,16 , 14 , 12 , 10 , ......

Solve the following quadratic by
completing the square.
f(x) = x2 + 10x - 1

Answers

Answer:

x = -5 plus/minus sqrt( 26 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's remember the binomial square formula

A^2 + 2AB + B^2 = (A + B)^2

We have:

x^2 + 2*5x -1

Hence, if we replace

A = x

B = 5

we get a perfect square: x^2 + 2*5x + 25 = (x + 5)^2.      [++]

Based on this reasoning, let's set f(x) = 0

x^2 +10x -1 = 0

Let's add 26 on both terms:

x^2 +10x +25 = 26

Based on [++]:   (x + 5)^2 = 26

Square root on both sides

(x + 5) = plus/minus sqrt (26)

x = -5 plus/minus sqrt (26)

6=sqrt x^2+3-x

So the gcf is 2.

Brainliest would be appreciated

Answer:

The greatest common factor is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the greatest common factor between 34 and 36.

Factors of 34: 1, 2, 17, and 34.

1*34=34

2*17=34

17*2=34

34*1=34

Factors of 36: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.

Therefore, the greatest common factor of 34 and 36 is 2, which is our answer.

where do the graphs of f(x)=cos(x/2) and g(x)= sqrt2 - cos(x/2) intersect on the interval [0,360)?
(See image below for clear question and answer choices)

Answers

Answer:

  (a)  90°

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph can help you answer the question about where the graphs of the two functions intersect. It shows the one angle of intersection to be 90°.

You can also determine this analytically.

  f(x) = g(x)

  cos(x/2) = √2 -cos(x/2)

  2cos(x/2) = √2 . . . . . . . . . . add cos(x/2)

  cos(x/2) = √2/2 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

what's the estimate of 6.48 + 9.34 and what's the estimate 15.71 + 12.2

Answers

Answer:

Your Estimated Equations and Answers: 6+9= 15 ; 16+12 = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating can be equivalent to rounding. This is because you're trying to find an approximate number or sum.

6.48 + 9.34 is your first question.

You should round it to the nearest whole number.

6.48 ~ 6 and 9.34 ~ 9

*Rounding rules applied here*

(~ this sign is the approximate or rounded to symbol)

Now, do 6+9 =

6+9= 15

______________________________________________

15.71 + 12.2 is your next question.


Same as last, round to the nearest whole number.

15.71 ~ 16 and 12.2 ~ 12

Now, do 16+12

16+12 = 28

find the sum of the fractions below. 5/8 + 1/n = 7/8 A. 3 B. 3 5/12 C. 3 4/9 D. 4

Answers

Answer:

D. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Subtract 5/8 from both sides.

1/n = 7/8 - 5/8

2) Simplify 7/8 - 5/8 to 1/4.

1/n = 1/4

3) Multiply both sides by n.

1 = 1/4n
4) Simplify 1/4n to n/4.

1 = n/4

5) Multiply both sides by 4.

1 * 4 = n

6) Simplify 1 * 4 to 4.

4 = n

7) Switch sides.

n = 4

Check Answer:

5/8 + 1/n = 7/8

1) Let n = 4.

5/8 + 1/4 = 7/8

2) Simplify 5/8 + 1/4 to 7/8.

7/8 = 7/8

Where should Gabe place the bulb to ensure a perfect beam of light?
(0,1)
(0,4)
(1,0)
(4,0)

Answers

Answer:

C. (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we make use of a parabolic reflecting mirror and a light source.

Given thar the equation of parabolic mirror is Y2 = 4ax

The given data in the problem is x = 1 and y = 2

So subject value is y2 = 4ax

4 = 4 a (1)

a = 1

So x = 1

thus focus is at (x, y) = (1,0)

Therefore, option C is correct answer.
