Answer:

m= 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of the line is:

(y - y0) = m ( x - x0), where "m" represents the slope is: (y1 - y0) / (x1 - x0).

From the statement we know that (x1, y1) = (6, 8) and (x0, y0) = (1,5)

Then the slope is:

m= (y1 - y0) / (x1 - x0) = (8 - 5)/(6 - 1) = 3/5.

The slope is 3/5

Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125

liq [111]

For the given equation;

$(3x-5)^2=-125$

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

$\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}$

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}$

During a period of 80 minutes, a music station played 8 minutes of commercials. What is the ratio of music they played to commer

igomit [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

80 minutes.......8 minutes played commercials....that means (80 - 8) = 72 minutes played music

so the ratio of music to commercials is : 72/8 which reduces to 9/1...so the ratio is 9:1 <=== ur answer

** pay attention to the wording, because if it would have asked for the ratio of commercials to music, it would have been 8/72....ratio would be 1:9
