I'll be happy to do math that I am assigned! Yay!
To figure this out, we must know the base comparisons. This just requires memorization, unfortunately.
\(1in=0.0254m\)
I happen to know that this is the base comparison. However, I'll have to do 2 conversions. One for the appropriate number of inches and one for meters to millimeters. Here it goes!
\(\frac{1in}{0.0254m}=\frac{12in}{xm}\) | This is a proportion. Solve by cross multiplying. |
\(x=12*0.0254=0.3048m\) | Therefore, this shows that 12 inches is equivalent to 0.3048 meters. Now, we must convert to millimeters. |
\(\frac{1000mm}{1m}=\frac{ymm}{0.3048m}\) | Cross multiply a second time. |
\(y=0.3048*1000=304.8mm\) | |
Bam! Done! 12 inches = 304.8 millimeters!
Since all the points are on the same line, the slope between each point will be the same.
slope = \(\frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}}\)
slope between first and second points = \(\frac{(-5)-(3)}{(3)-(-a+2)}=\frac{-8}{1+a} \)
slope between second and third points = \(\frac{(3)-(2)}{(-a+2)-(2a+3)}=\frac{1}{-3a-1} \)
slope between third and first points = \(\frac{(2)-(-5)}{(2a+3)-(3)}=\frac{7}{2a}\)
Let's pick any two and equate them.
\(\frac{7}{2a}=\frac{-8}{1+a} \) Cross - multiply...
(7)(1+a) = (-8)(2a)
7 + 7a = -16a
7 = -23a
-7/23 = a And here is a graph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/2pdpfrqz05
If the line's slope is 3 and y-intercept is 1 , the slope-intercept form of the line is:
y = 3x + 1
And the equation for the circle is:
x2 + y2 = 1 We want to find what x is when y = 3x + 1. So substitute 3x + 1 in for y.
x2 + (3x + 1)2 = 1
x2 + (3x +1)(3x + 1) = 1
x2 + 9x2 + 6x + 1 = 1
10x2 + 6x = 0 Factor out an x from both terms.
x(10x + 6) = 0 Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x .
x = 0 or x = -3/5
Now we can plug these x values into the equation of the line to find the y coordinate of the intersection points.
When x = 0 , When x = -3/5 ,
y = 3(0) + 1 y = 3(-3/5) + 1
y = 1 y = -4/5
So...the coordinates of the two points are: (0, 1) and (-3/5, -4/5)
