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

Reason: 8/5 or 1.6 is greater than 9/10 or 0.9  

[tex]1>\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

FALSE

Reason: 1 is smaller than 6/5 or (1.1)

[tex]\frac{5}{2}<2\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

converting mixed number to improper fraction

[tex]\frac{5}{2}<\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Reason: 5/2 can not be less than 5/2

[tex]\frac{8}{4}\:<\frac{5}{2}\:[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that the slope of the line represented by the equation [tex]y\:=\:\frac{4}{5}x-3[/tex]  would be:

m  =  4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept of the line equation is

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

here

m is the slopeb is the y-intercept

Given the equation

[tex]y\:=\:\frac{4}{5}x-3[/tex]

comparing with the slope-intercept of the line equation

The slope = m = 4/5

Thus, we conclude that the slope of the line represented by the equation [tex]y\:=\:\frac{4}{5}x-3[/tex]  would be:

m  =  4/5

Midpoint formula = [tex]\frac{x1 + x 2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2}[/tex]

x1 = 5

x2 = 5

y1 = 6

y2 = 3

Plug those into the midpoint formula.

[tex]\frac{5+5}{2} , \frac{6+3}{2}[/tex]

5+5=10/2 = 5

6+3=9/2=4.5

you answer will be (5,4.5)

The scatterplot illustrates the relationship between two quantitative variables: the number of seeds planted per square foot and the yield of the crop (in pounds per square foot).

A graph titled Number of Seeds and Crop Yield has seeds (per square foot) on the x-axis, and yard (pounds per square foot) on the y-axis. The points curve up to a point, and then curve back down.

Which of the following is an accurate description of the scatterplot?

Answers

Answer:

I cannot confirm answer (D), but it looks correct to me.

Here's the option:

The expected yield of a crop is low whenever the number of seeds planted per square foot is small or large. A larger yield is expected when the number of seeds per square foot is around 60.

We have the two functions:

And we want to find:

[tex](f\circ g)(x)[/tex]

2x + -10 = 10 + -3x

Explanation

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 2x = 10 + -3x

-10 + 2x = 10 + -3x

Solving for variable x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

Add 3x to each side of the equation

-10 + 2x + 3x = 10 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x

-10 + 5x = 10 + -3x + 3x

Combine like terms: -3x + 3x = 0

-10 + 5x = 10 + 0

-10 + 5x = 10

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 5x = 10 + 10

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 5x = 10 + 10

5x = 10 + 10

Combine like terms: 10 + 10 = 20

5x = 20

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 4

So your answer is x=4

she fell to the floor and cried all afternoon is a compound sentence.

What is compound sentence ?A coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, still, or so) plus a comma, or a semicolon alone, can be used to combine two independent clauses to form a compound sentence.A compound sentence is one that joins two independent clauses with a conjunction, most frequently and or but.They work best when integrating two or more independent, connected sentences into a solitary, cohesive one.At least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses make up a compound-complex sentence.
