Find the equation of the line that passes through points A and B.<br> y<br> X A (4, 7)<br> B (2, 3)

g100num [7]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = (7-3)/(4-2)

= 4/2

= 2.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = 2 , x1 = 2 and y1 = 3. So we have:

y - 3 = 2(x - 2)

y = 2x - 4 + 3

y = 2x - 1.

We have used the point (2, 3) to find the equation but we could have used (4, 7). We would have got the same answer.

What is a solution to the equation 3 / m + 3 - M / 3 - M equals m^2 + 9 / m^2-9?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$\frac{3}{m+3}-\frac{m}{3-m}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

Follow these steps to solve it:

- Subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation:

$\frac{3(3-m)-m(m+3)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{9-3m-m^2-3m}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}\\\\\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{m^2-9}$

- Using the Difference of squares formula ( $a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ) we can simplify the denominator of the right side of the equation:

$\frac{-m^2-6m+9}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{m^2+9}{(m+3)(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides of the equation by $(m+3)(3-m)$ and simplify:

$\frac{(-m^2-6m+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(3-m)}=\frac{(m^2+9)(m+3)(3-m)}{(m+3)(m-3)}\\\\-m^2-6m+9=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)}{(m-3)}$

- Multiply both sides by $m-3$ :

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=\frac{(m^2+9)(3-m)(m-3)}{(m-3)}\\\\(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)$

- Apply Distributive property and simplify:

$(-m^2-6m+9)(m-3)=(m^2+9)(3-m)\\\\-m^3-6m^2+9m+3m^2+18m-27=3m^2+27-m^3-9m\\\\-m^3-3m^2+27m-27+m^3-3m^2+9m-27=0\\\\-6m^2+36m-54=0$

- Divide both sides of the equation by -6:

$\frac{-6m^2+36m-54}{-6}=\frac{0}{-6}\\\\m^2-6m+9=0$

- Factor the equation and solve for "m":

$(m-3)^2=0\\\\m=3$

In order to verify it, you must substitute $m=3$ into the equation and solve it:

$\frac{3}{3+3}-\frac{3}{3-3}=\frac{3^2+9}{3^2-9}\\\\\frac{3}{6}-\frac{3}{0}=\frac{18}{0}$

Clayton says that 2 1/2 + 3 3/5 will be more than 5 but less than 6 since 2 + 3 is 5. Is Clayton’s reasoning correct? Prove him

antoniya [11.8K]

He is wrong...

2 1/2 + 3 3/5 = 97/20

Simplified, I believe the answer is 4 17/20

Choose the equation for the relationship shown in the graph.

uysha [10]

Answer:

B) y = x - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

It is B because the graph's y-intercept lies on the point (0, -50), hence the equation, y = x <u>- 50</u>. In addition, you can verify that B is the correct answer because the slope of the graph is positive, and so the x-value also must be positive.
