Functions/65205: find the equation of a line for this points (4,-2) and (0,3) 0 1 solutions Answer 45744 by checkley71(8403)   on 2006-12-17 08:58:54 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! SLOPE IS (3+2)/(0-4) 5/-4 OR -5/4 NOW USING ONE SET OF (X,Y) POINTS IN THE LINE FORMULA WE GET THE Y INTERCEPT Y=mX+b 3=-5/4*0+b 3=b OR Y=-5/4X+3

Functions/65210: find the equation of a line for this points (4,1) and is perpendicular to the line 2y-3x=4 1 solutions Answer 45743 by checkley71(8403)   on 2006-12-17 08:55:03 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST WE FIND THE SLOPE OF THE LINE 2Y-3X=4 2Y=3X-4 Y=3X/2-4/2 Y=3X/2-2 THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE OF 3/2 THEREFORE THE PERPENDICULAR LINE HAS A SLOPE OF -2/3. THUS THE FORMULAR FOR THIS PERPENDICULAR LINE IS FOUND BY REPLACING X & Y WITH THE POINTS (4,1) WITH A SLOPE OF -2/3 THUS 1=-2/3*4+b 1=-8/3+b 1+8/3=b b=11/3 THUS THIS EQUATION IS Y=-2/3X+11/3

Functions/65212: find the point of intersction forthe line below using elimation 3x+4y=-2, 2x+5y=1 1 solutions Answer 45742 by checkley71(8403)   on 2006-12-17 08:48:32 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! multiply the first equation by 2 & the second by -3 & then add thus 6x+8y=-4 -6x-15y=-3 -------------------------- -7y=-7 y=-7/-7 y=1 solution. now substitute 1 for y in either equation & solve for x 3x+4*1=-2 3x+4=-2 3x=-2-4 3x=-6 x=-6/3 x=-2 solution. proof 2*-2+5*1=1 -4+5=1 1=1
