What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, 3) and (-3,-1)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1/2x+1/2

m=1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(5,3) and (-3,-1).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

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

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (5,3), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=5 and y1=3.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-3,-1), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-3 and y2=-1.

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

m=

-1 - 3 over

-3 - 5

or...

m=

-4 over

-8

or...

m=1/2

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

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

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

(5,3). When x of the line is 5, y of the line must be 3.

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

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 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 (5,3) and (-3,-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:

(5,3). y=mx+b or 3=1/2 × 5+b, or solving for b: b=3-(1/2)(5). b=1/2.

(-3,-1). y=mx+b or -1=1/2 × -3+b, or solving for b: b=-1-(1/2)(-3). b=1/2.

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

(5,3) and (-3,-1)

is

y=1/2x+1/2

Answers

Based on the given equation of b -4/6=b/2, the value of the variable b, can be found to be -2

What is the variable?

The variable can be found by solving the equation through the operations of mathematics.

First, cross-multiply:

b -4/6 = b/2

b - 4 = 6b / 2

After cross-multiplying, collect like terms:

b - 4 = 3b

There cannot be repetitive domains in one set. Therefore, all choices except the second choice have repetitive domains.

Janelle types at the rate of Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected 'mathsize'. Of a page per minute. Which statement about Janelle is true? A) Janelle can type 8 pages in 1/3 of a minute B) Janelle can type 2 pages in 3/4 of a minute C) Janelle can type 1/2 page in 3/4 of a minute D) Janelle can type 1/4 of a page in 2/3 of a minute

Answers

Answer: D) Janelle can type 1/4 of a page in 2/3 of a minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is wrong because based on the constraints, Janine would type less than 3/8 of a page in anything less than a minute. 8 > 3/8.

For that same reason, option B is wrong as well. 2 > 3/8.

1/2 > 3/8 so Option C is wrong for the same reason as the options above.

To test option D;

If Janine can type 3/8 of a page per minute, how much can she type in 2/3 minutes.

Assume the much she can type is x;

3/8 : 1

x    : 2/3

1x = 3/8 * 2/3

x = 1/4

Option D is therefore correct.

Shondra is counting the money in the cash register at the end of her shift. All that is left to count are $5 bills and $10 bills. There are 32 bills in the stack and they are worth $220. How many of each denomination did she have?

Let x represent the number of $5 bills and let y represent the number of $10 bills.

Choose the 2 equations that would best represent this scenario and select the correct solution from the drop down list. You will select 3 answers in total.

Answers

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: x represent the number of $5 bills and y, the number of $10 bill and, in total there are 32 bills, so

x + y = 32

In terms of value, there is a total of $220. The equation for it is

5x + 10y = 220

The 2 equations which best represent the scenario are

x + y = 32 (I)

5x + 10y = 220 (II)

To know how many bills there are, we have to solve the system. There are many way to solve it and one of them is

1) Multiply (I) by -5:

-5x - 5y = -160 (III)

2) Add equation (III) to equation (II):

-5x - 5y = -160

5x + 10y = 220

0x + 5y = 60 (IV)

3) Solve equation (IV)

5y = 60

y = 12

4) Replace value of y in equation (I) and find value of x:

x + 12 = 32

x = 20

In the proposed scenario, Shondra had 20 $5 bills and 12 $10 bills.

Answer: x=20 and y=12

A function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4. what is the output for this rule when the input is 5?​

Answers

Answer:

when the input = 4Then the output = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is stated that a function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4.

Let 'x' be the number

Decreasing twice the number 'x' by 4 = 2x-4

Now,

Given the input x = 5

As the output will decrease twice the input (x=5) by 4

Thus, the output = 2(5)-4 = 10-4 = 6

Therefore,

when the input = 4Then the output = 6

Isaac buys eggs and apples at the store. He pays a total of $24.26. He pays a total of $4.36 for the eggs. He buys 5 bags of apples that each cost the same amount.

Let x be the cost of each bag of apples. Then the equation is given as,

5x + 4.36 = 24.26

Simplify the equation, then we have

5x = 24.26 - 4.36

5x = 19.90

x = 19.90 / 5

x = $3.98

The equation that represents the cost of each bag of apples is 5x + 4.36 = 24.26 and the cost is $3.98.

Hanna Was Riding Her Bike For 11/12 Mile long. She Rode For 1/2 Mile And Then Stopped To Rest. She Rode Another 1/3 Mile And Then Had A Flat Tire. How Far Dose Hanna Have To Walk Her Bike To Complete The Loop?

Answers

Hanna have to walk her bike for 1/12 mile to complete the loop .

In the question , it is given that

distance Hanna had to ride to complete the loop  = 11/12 mile

distance rode by Hanna before rest = 1/2 mile

distance rode by Hanna before flat tire = 1/3 mile

So the distance Hanna has to walk her bike to complete the loop = total distance of the loop - distance rode by Hanna before rest - distance rode by Hanna before flat tire .

On substituting the values from above we get ,

distance Hanna has to walk her bike to complete the loop = 11/12 - 1/2 - 1/3

taking the LCM of 12 , 2 and 3 as 12

we get ,

= 11/12 - 6/12 - 4/12

Simplifying further we get ,

= (11-6-4)/12

= (11-10)/12

= 1/12

Therefore , the distance Hanna have to walk her bike to complete the loop is 1/12 mile .
