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.

(a) It takes the Earth 365 days to complete a full orbit around the sun. It takes Jupiter approximately 4,332 days, 14 h, and 9

kogti [31]

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

First convert the hours and minutes in Jupiter orbit to days:

14*60 = 840 +9 = 849 minutes.

849 / 60 = 14.15 hours.

14.15 / 24 = 0.59 days.

Jupiter's orbit is 4332.59 days.

Now divide that by 365 for the number of years:

4332.59 / 365 = 11.87 years.

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

we can form a triangle to help us understand how to solve this problem:

puppy

∠ Leslie = 35° ∠ Surekha = 70°

If Leslie's angle is 35° and Surekha's angle is 70°, that gives us a total of 105°. Since the sum of the triangle's three angles is 180°, then the angle at which they will meet is 180° - 105° = 75°
