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.

The volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides. This can be written in function nation as v(s). What is the best interp
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Alright, lets get started.

We have given that volume of cube depends on the lenght of side.

In cube we know that each side is of similar size.

Suppose the side lenght of cube is a, the volume of that cube will be a^3.

We have given in question notation of volume V(s).

V(3) = 27

Which shows the lenght of side of cube is 3 and the volume of cube is 27, which satisfies the formula also.

3 ^3 = 27 the volume given

So, the best interpretation of V(3) = 27 is the lenght of the cube side is 3 and the volume of the cube is 27. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
