Answer: (8,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that connects (-4,5) and (2,3) has a slope of (-2/6) or -1/3. The y-intercept is calculated from one of the points: 3 = -(1/3)*(2) + b

b = 3 2/3

The equation for the line is y = -(1/3)x + 3 2/3

The reflection covers a distance of x of (2 - (-4)) = 6. Add 6 to the x value of (2,3) and calculate the resulting y. (8,y): y = -(1/3)(8) + 3 2/3, y = -8/3 + 11/3 = 3/3 or 1

The point is (8,1)

Answer: The answer is x=6, the final set of (x,y) values are (6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

You must move around the equation to get it to y= mx+b to find the (x,y) values

Since you know y=-4 since it is stated above, plug in -4 for all y values and solve.

1. 6x+ 7(-4) =4x +4(-4)

2. 6x -28= 4x -16

3. 2x-28=-16

4. 2x=12

5. x=6

Work out the gradient of the line joining the points (2, 3) and (5,7)

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The gradient of the line joining the points $P(x,y) = (2,3)$ and $Q(x,y) = (5,7)$ is $\frac{4}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the line joining two distinct point on a plane is represented by the slope of a secant line ( $m_{PQ}$ ), that is:

$m_{PQ} = \frac{y_{Q}-y_{P}}{x_{Q}-x_{P}}$ (1)

If we know that $P(x,y) = (2,3)$ and $Q(x,y) = (5,7)$ , then the gradient of the line is:

$m_{PQ} = \frac{7-3}{5-2}$

$m_{PQ} = \frac{4}{3}$

The gradient of the line joining the points $P(x,y) = (2,3)$ and $Q(x,y) = (5,7)$ is $\frac{4}{3}$ .
