  5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

  A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

  B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

  5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

  5x -y = -37

Additional comment

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
