Answer:

y = (-2/5)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to attack this problem is to interchange the coefficients of x and y and change the sign of one to +:  5x - 2y = -6 becomes 2x + 5y = c.  Solving for the slope, m, we get 5y = -2x + c first, and then y = (-2/5)x + D.

Subbing 5 for x and -4 for y, we now have -4 = (-2/5)(5) + D.

Then -4 = -2 + D, so that D = -2.

The desired equation is thus y = (-2/5)x - 2.

Check:  Does this pass through (5, -4)?  Is -4 = (-2/5)(5) - 2 true?  Yes.

Is the slope -2/5 the negative reciprocal of 5/2?  Yes, it is.

What value is needed to complete the square? Show all steps. <br> x^2 - 2x +__
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

In completing the square method, considering the equation X^2 - 2x +  the number to be added should be<u> 1 </u>to make it a perfect square

<h3>How to know term that should added</h3>

The standard quadratic equation is of the form

ax^2 + bx + c

The completing the square method is one of the methods of solving quadratic equations

The factor to be added to the equation while using the completing the square method is of the formula

(b / 2a)^2

compared to the equation in the problem X^2 - 2x +

= (b / 2a)^2

= (2 / 2)^2

= (1)^2

= 1

Pls I need help !!!!!!
Marianna [84]

Answer: m1 m2 and m5 all equal to 135 as well

While m3 m6 and m4 are 45

Why: since they are on a line the two angles together should equal 180. So 180- 135= 45
