Answer:

x + 3y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line contains the points (12,6) and (-3,11)​.

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

Standard form is written as ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, however a and b cannot be 0, and a cannot be negative.

Regardless, before we write an equation in slope-intercept form, we must first write the equation in a different form, such as slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y at the y-intercept.

So first, let's find the slope of the line.
The slope (m) can be found using the formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points.

Even though we already have 2 points, let's label their values to avoid any confusion and mistakes when calculating.

x_1=12\\y_1=6\\x_2=-3\\y_2=11

Now substitute these values into the formula.

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{11-6}{-3-12}

Subtract

m=\frac{5}{-15}

Simplify

m=-\frac{1}{3}

The slope is -1/3

Here is the equation of the line so far in slope-intercept form:

y=-\frac{1}{3} x + b

We need to solve for b.

As the equation passes through (12,6) and (-3,11)​, we can use either one to help solve for b.

Taking (12, 6) for example:

6=-\frac{1}{3}(12)  + b

Multiply

6=-\frac{12}{3}  + b

Divide

6 = -4 + b

Add 4 to both sides.

10 = b

Substitute 10 as b in the equation.

y = -\frac{1}{3} x + 10

Here is the equation in slope-intercept form, but remember, we want it in standard form.

In standard form, the values of both x and y are on the same side, so let's add -1/3x to both sides.

\frac{1}{3} x + y = 10

Remember that a (the coefficient in front of x) has to be an integer, 1/3 is not an integer.

So, let's multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction.

3(\frac{1}{3} x + y) = 3(10)
Multiply.

<u>x + 3y = 30</u>

<u></u>

Selena buys 4 peaches that weigh 1 pound in all. Each peach weigh the same amount. Peaches are on sale for $2.24 per pound. Writ
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The required equation is

4p = 2.24

And p = 0.56  [ where p is in $]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Selena buys 4 peaches that weight 1 pound in all.

Peaches are on sale for $2.24 per pound.

Since the total weight of peaches is 1 pound.

So the price of 4 peaches is $2.24.

Let p be the price of 1 peaches.

Then the price of 4 peaches is $(4×p)

                                                  = $4p

According to the problem,

4p = 2.24

\Rightarrow p=\frac{2.24}{4}

⇒p=0.56      [ where p is in $]

The required equation is

4p = 2.24

And p = 0.56  [ where p is in $]

Please help <br> The diagram shows a 5ft student standing near a tree
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows two triangles that are similar.  Similar triangles have equal angles and sides that are proportional to each other.  Since the base of each triangle is given, we can find the proportion of the sides:

\frac{smaller}{larger}=\frac{8}{40}=\frac{1}{5}

Given the ratio of the smaller to larger triangle, we can set up a proportion to find the missing height of the larger triangle:

\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{x}, where 'x' represent the height of the tree

cross-multiply:  x = (5)(5) or 25 ft

What is the solution to the system of equations?
Over [174]

ANSWER

C) (6,-8)

EXPLANATION

The equations are:

y =  \frac{1}{3}x - 10

and

2x+y=4

We substitute the first equation into the second equation to get:

2x +  \frac{1}{3}x - 10 = 4

We multiply through by 3 to get:

6x + x  - 30= 12

Group similar terms,

6x + x = 30 + 12

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7 to get,

x =  \frac{42}{7}  = 6

Put this value of x into the first equation to get;

y =  \frac{1}{3} (6) - 10

y = 2 - 10 =  - 8
