Response:

We define a line L.

In a two-dimensional space, a line can be expressed as follows:

y = a*x + b

where 'a' denotes the slope and 'b' represents the y-intercept.

To determine the slope for a line passing through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the formula is:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Using one of these points will help to find the value of 'b'.

Once we have the line's equation:

y = a*x + b

we can substitute in a specific point (x, y)

to verify if the equation holds true. If it does, that point lies on the line L.

Find the coordinates of the point whose ordinate is -7 and lies on y axis​
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

(0,-7)

Detailed explanation:

For any point designated as (x,y)

x represents the abscissa, which can also be referred to as the x-axis coordinate, while

y represents the ordinate, also known as the y-axis coordinate

ordinates are the points along the y-axis.

For any point situated on the y-axis, its x-coordinate will always be 0

given that the ordinate is -7. This indicates that the y-coordinate takes the value of -7

Thus, the coordinates of the point are (0,-7)

5x−4≥12 OR 12x+5≤−4 please answer asap and right and explain like im 5 how to solve OR problems ill give brainliest and a lot of
Zina [12379]

Answer: x ≥ 3.2 OR x ≤ -0.75

Here's how to solve the compound inequality step-by-step: start by separating it into two inequalities. For the first one, 5x - 4 ≥ 12, add 4 to both sides to remove the constant, leaving 5x ≥ 16. Then divide both sides by 5 to isolate x, resulting in x ≥ 3.2.

Now for the second part, 12x + 5 ≤ -4, subtract 5 from both sides to obtain 12x ≤ -9. Dividing both sides by 12 gives x ≤ -9/12, which simplifies to x ≤ -0.75. So, combining both, the solution is x ≥ 3.2 OR x ≤ -0.75.
