Algebra Help- I have to make a equation based upon a point and its slope. I will draw it out.
|dw:1351255271525:dw|
the equation I found for it is \[y=\frac{ 1 }{\sqrt{3} }-1\sqrt{3}x\] How do I simplify this?
Which of the following points are on this slope? A(-2,sqrt(3)), B(0,1), C(-1/3,2/sqrt(3)) D(-sqrt(3),2sqrt(3))
@ajprincess do you know how to solve this?
Point and its slope? Point-slope form!
@ParthKohli that part I did. But it gets ms confused algebretically solving with squareroots. How do I find all those points if they exists on the equation?
What is the question exactly?
after finding the equation, find if those points listed above are on that line or not.
Plug and play.
@parthkohli I tried, but it gets messed up. Can you help me step by step?
Let us substitute the first value and see. (-2,sqrt(3)), \(y=1/\sqrt3-\sqrt3x\) \(=1/\sqrt3-\sqrt3(-2)\) \( =1/\sqrt3+2\sqrt3\) \(=(1+2\sqrt3(\sqrt3)/\sqrt3\) \(=(1+2*3)/sqrt3\) \(=(1+6)/\sqrt3\) \(=7/\sqrt3\) \(7/\sqrt3\ne\sqrt3\) So this is nt a point. Similarly can u chck the others too. @Comgroupmail?
Plug in C: \[y = 1/\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3}(-1/3) = 1/\sqrt{3} + 1/\sqrt{3} = 2/\sqrt{3}\]C is the answer. Do it this way and you will find all the others wrong
