Answer:

5x + y = -28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that a line has a slope of -5 and contains the point (-4, -8)

We want to write the equation of this line in standard form

Standard form is given as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be zero, and a cannot be negative

Before we write the equation in standard form however, we need to write it in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope & b is the y intercept

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately plug that in for m in y=mx+b

y=-5x+b

Now to find b:

As the equation passes through the point (-4, -8), we can use its values to help solve for b

Substitute -4 as x and -8 as y:

-8 = -5(-4) + b

Multiply

-8 = 20 + b

Subtract 20 from both sides

-8 = 20 + b

-20 -20

__________

-28 = b

substitute -28 as b

y = -5x - 28

We found the equation in slope-intercept form, but remember, we want it in standard form

In standard form, both x and y are on the same side; so, let's move 5x to the other side; to do this, we need to add 5x to both sides

y = -5x - 28

+5x +5x

_________

5x + y = -28

Hope this helps!

How to convert nonlinear equation to linear equation?

9966 [12]

Let's take the non-linear equation:
${x}^{2} = \sqrt{3} y$
First Make The Equation To Be In Terms of Y

*Divide Both sides by
$\sqrt{3}$
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{ \sqrt{3} y}{ \sqrt{3} }$
*Simplify
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = y$
You shouldn't keep a radical in the denominator, however we leave it for the purpose of the reciprocal.

*Take The Reciprocal Of Both Sides
$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ {x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{y}$
A Linear Equation Takes The Format:
$y = mx + b$
So,
$\frac{1}{y} = y$
$b = 0$
$m(slope) = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x}$
$x = \frac{1}{x}$
Resulting in :
$\frac{1}{y} = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x} (\frac{1}{x} ) + 0$

Consider the proof.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Correct choice is B

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 4 were proved that $\triangle ABC\sim\triangle DEC.$

By definition, similar triangles have proportional lengths of corresponding sides. To the side AB corresponds side ED, to the side AC corresponds side DC and to the side BC corresponds side EC. Thus,

$\dfrac{AC}{DC}=\dfrac{BC}{EC}.$

Using geometry, calculate the volume of the solid under z=64−x2−y2and over the circular disk x2+y2≤64

Anarel [89]

Perhaps you mean to find the volume under $z=\sqrt{64-x^2-y^2}$ ? It seems like you have to rely on calculus otherwise (in the case that you indeed mean $z=64-x^2-y^2$ ).

Assuming this, note that $z=\sqrt{64-x^2-y^2}$ describes the top half of a sphere with radius 8, which means the volume below this surface over the disk $x^2+y^2\le64$ is simply half the volume of the sphere. Thus the volume is

$\dfrac43\pi8^3=\dfrac{2048}3\pi$

Which of the following fractions is greater than -4/5 but less than -3/4

choli [55]

Answer:

B. -19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for an answer that is greater than -4/5 (which is equal to -0.80) but less than -3/4 (which is equal to -0.75). So, you can easily convert the fractions to decimals by dividing.

-33/50 = -0.66, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.

-19/25 = -0.76, which fits our parameters, so it is the answer.

-19/20 = -0.95, which is less than -0.80, so it can be eliminated.

-7/10 = -0.70, which is greater than -0.75, so it can be eliminated.

Find the distance between the two points.<br> (-6, – 7), (0,0)

Elden [556K]

Answer:

√85

Step-by-step explanation:

for this, you will probably need to draw a graph. Plot the points, and then you will notice that you can draw a triangle with one side being the x-axis ( go on to (-6,0) then drop down unitll you hit the point (-6;-7)

// use the pythagoream theorem to find the length

the distance of the leg on the x-axis is 6 (calculate 0-(-6))

the distance of the leg that is dropping down is -7 (calculate 0-(-7))

then we have 2 legs and need to find the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

substitute :

6^2 + 7^2 = c^2

36+49 = 85

c= √85
