Question

Write the point slope form of the equation of the line passing through the point ( -12, -5) with a slope of 3.

Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

The point-slope form of a linear equation looks like this:

y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

Answer 3

@DeeBush96 Use that equation ^^^ to fill in for the slope and the point given in the problem. Post what you get and we will compare answers, okay?

Answer 4

i think it is y + 5+ 3(x+12) @Directrix

Answer 5

Yes, I almost agree. I think there's a typo here:

y + 5+ 3(x+12) --> y + 5 = 3(x + 12)

Answer 6

so im rite

Answer 7

Yes, it you put an "equals" in your equation.

Answer 8

Find the values of x and y. The diagram is not a scale
@Directrix

Answer 9

What is true about the two angles marked in red on the attachment?
It has to do with parallel lines.

Answer 10

What name is given to those two angles marked in red? The name has to do with angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

Answer 11

is it angle bisectors

Answer 12

No. They are alternate interior angles.

Theorem: When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, alternate interior angles are congruent.

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

So, both have measure 40. Now, look at the diagram attached.

Answer 15

is X= 75 and Y=68

Answer 16

How did you get those?

Answer 17

Solve for y:

40 + y - 2 + 74 = 180 --> Sum of angles in triangle is 180

Answer 18

Simplify this: 40 + y - 2 + 74

Answer 19

can u help me simplify this

Answer 20

40 + y - 2 + 74 = 40 - 2 + 74 + y = ?

Does that help?

Answer 21

40 - 2 + 74 = ?

Answer 22

112

Answer 23

@Directrix

Answer 24

Okay, so

40 + y - 2 + 74 = 180
112 + y = 180
y = ?

Answer 25

so do i subtract 112 from 180 @Directrix

Answer 26

Yes

y = 180 - 112
y = ?

Answer 27

68 what is 8

Answer 28

y = 68

Answer 29

i meant what is x

Answer 30

Here is how to find x.

Answer 31

Solve for x: x -1 + 40 + 66 = 180

Answer 32

is it 75

Answer 33

Guessing from the options? :)

Answer 34

Yes, 75 = x.
