What is an equation for the line with a slope of 1/3x that goes through the points (3,5)

Therefore , Equation of Line Passing through A with slope 1/3 is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

Let,  

point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 3 , 5)

To Find:  

Equation of Line Passing through A with slope 1/3 =?  

Solution:  

Equation of a line passing through a points A( x₁ , y₁) and having slope m is given by the formula,  

i.e Equation in point - slope form

Now on substituting the slope and point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( 3 , 5) we get

Therefore , Equation of Line Passing through A with slope 1/3 is

  5.   y=6; de=7; fg=8

  6.   x=4.2; jl=14.2; mn=13

step-by-step explanation:

when chords cross inside a circle, the product of the segment lengths is a constant.

5. dh×eh = fh×gh

  y = gh = dh×eh/fh = 3×4/2 . . . divide by the coefficient of gh

  y = 6

of course, the total chord length is the sum of the lengths of its segments.

  de = dh +eh = 3+4 = 7

  fg = fh +gh = 2+6 = 8

6. this problem works the same way as the previous one.

  x = lk = mk×nk/jk = 6×7/10 = 4.2

  jl = jk +lk = 10 +4.2 = 14.2

  mn = mk +nk = 6 +7 = 13

comment on chords and secants

you can think of the points h (problem 5) and k (problem 6) as points where the chords meet. a chord is part of a secant line, a line that intersects the circle in two points. one can also consider these points (h or k) to be the points where the respective secant lines meet.

then, the product that is a constant is the product of the distance from the meeting point (h or k) to one circle intersection with the distance from that meeting point to the other circle intersection. for problem 5, the constant is the product hd×he = hf×hg.

it turns out that this rule regarding the products of lengths to points of intersection is also true when the secants intersect outside the circle.

that is, you only need to remember one rule to work both kinds of problems.

astronomers is your final answer! : )
