Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes though the points (2,5) and (4,3)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -1x+7

or

y = -1x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

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

(2,5) and (4,3).

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, (2,5), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=2 and y1=5.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (4,3), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=4 and y2=3.

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

m=

3 - 5

4 - 2

or...

m=

-2

2

or...

m=-1

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=-1x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

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

(2,5). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 5.

(4,3). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be 3.

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

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-1x+b. b is what we want, the -1 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 (2,5) and (4,3).

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:

(2,5). y=mx+b or 5=-1 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=5-(-1)(2). b=7.

(4,3). y=mx+b or 3=-1 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=3-(-1)(4). b=7.

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

(2,5) and (4,3)

is

y=-1x+7

Let f be a function of two variables that has continuous partial derivatives and consider the points

A(8, 9),

B(10, 9),

C(8, 10),

and

D(11, 13).

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of the vector AB is 9 and the directional derivative at A in the direction of

AC is 2. Find the directional derivative of f at A in the direction of the vector AD.

(Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of [tex]\vec{u}[/tex] AD is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Directional of a function f in direction of the unit vector [tex]\vec{u}=(a,b)[/tex] is denoted by [tex]D\vec{u}f(x,y)[/tex],

[tex]D\vec{u}f(x,y)=f_{x}\left ( x ,y\right ).a+f_{y}(x,y).b[/tex].

Now the given points are

[tex]A(8,9),B(10,9),C(8,10) and D(11,13)[/tex],

Step 2:

The vectors are given as

AB = (10-8, 9-9),the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AB} = \frac{AB}{\left \| AB \right \|}=(1,0)[/tex]

AC=(8-8,10-9), the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AC} = \frac{AC}{\left \| AC \right \|}=(0,1)[/tex]

AC=(11-8,13-9), the direction is

[tex]\vec{u}_{AD} = \frac{AD}{\left \| AD \right \|}=\left (\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5} \right )[/tex]

Step 3:

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AB}[/tex] is 9,

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AB}f=f_{x} \cdot 1 + f_{y}\cdot 0\\f_{x} =9[/tex]

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AC}[/tex] is 2,

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AB}f=f_{x} \cdot 0 + f_{y}\cdot 1\\f_{y} =2[/tex]

The given directional derivative of f at A [tex]\vec{u}_{AD}[/tex] is

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f=f_{x} \cdot \frac{3}{5} + f_{y}\cdot \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f=9 \cdot \frac{3}{5} + 2\cdot \frac{4}{5}[/tex]

[tex]D\vec{u}_{AD}f= \frac{27+8}{5} =7[/tex]

The directional derivative of f at A in the direction of  [tex]\vec{u}_{AD}[/tex] is  7.

Answer:

[tex]\sqrt{14}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In any square with side length [tex]s[/tex], the diagonal of the square is equal to [tex]s\sqrt{2}[/tex]. Since the side length of this square is [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex], the diagonal is equal to [tex]\sqrt{7}\cdot \sqrt{2}=\boxed{\sqrt{14}}[/tex].

Alternatively, you can form two 45-45-90 triangles with the diagonal of the square. The diagonal acts as the hypotenuse for the both these triangles, and the legs of both triangles are equal to the side length of the square. To find the length of the diagonal, use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex], where [tex]c[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle, and [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are the two legs of the triangle.

In this question, both legs are equal to [tex]\sqrt{7}[/tex], and we're solving for the diagonal, which is the hypotenuse in this case:

[tex]\sqrt{7}^2+\sqrt{7}^2=c^2,\\c^2=14,\\c=\boxed{\sqrt{14}}[/tex]

Question from Venn diagram solving... plz solve. Worth 15 points

Answers

Answer:

For this type of problem, it is best to use Venn diagrams as shown in the picture. The areas where the circles intersect are the mutual events that occur together. The area where all circles intersect is denoted as x. These are the students who play all sports. Assuming all of the students play sports in the school, all of the numbers in the circles should add up to 405. The remaining area would be the difference. The solution is as follows:

Students who play tennis and hockey: 45 - x

Students who play hockey and softball: 60 - x

Students who play only tennis and softball: 39 - x

Students who only play tennis:

251 - 45 + x - 39 +x -x = x + 167

Students who only play hockey:

157 - x - 45 + x - 60 + x = x + 52

Students who only play softball:

111 - x - 60 + x - 39 + x = x + 12

The sum of all of these should be 405:

45-x+60-x+39-x+x+167+x+52+x+12 = 405

Solving for x,

x = 30

Therefore, there are 30 pupils who play all sports; 15 pupils who play tennis and hockey; 30 pupils who play hockey and softball; 9 pupils who play tennis and softball; 197 pupil who only play tennis; 82 pupils who only play hockey; and 42 pupils who only play softball.
