What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,8) and has a slope of -5/3?

Answer:

y = -5/3 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write this in the form y = mx + b.  We need to find the m (slope) and the b (y-intercept) ,  Whew, they already gave us the slope, so we are have way there.  I will plug in the x and y that we are given from the point (-6, 8) to solve for b.

y = mx + b

8 = -5/3(-6) + b  Multiply the fraction by -6

8 = 30/3 + b  I can make 6 a fraction by writing it 6/1 and then just multiply straight across.  A negative times a negative is a positive.

8 = 10 + b   30/3 is equal to 10.  Now subtract 10 from both sides to get b

-8 = b

I can now write the equations since I now know m and b.

y = -5/3 + (-8) which is the same as y = -5/3 - 8.  Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

Determine the image of the point (5, -2) under a rotation of 90 degrees about the origin.
Galina-37 [17]

90 degrees means 90 degrees counterclockwise.   So from the fourth quadrant we'll end up in the first quadrant.  X and Y get swapped and one negated, it must be the -2 becoming 2, so our image is

(2,5)

plzzz help smart people, its math will mark branilyest (DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW THIS TYPE OF MATH PLZZ SHOW WORK)
sveta [45]

Answer:

6) 15

7)5

8)120 degrees

9)60 degrees

10)9

Step-by-step explanation:

GHIJ is a parallelogram.

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

3y - 1 = 2y + 1

3y - 2y = 1 + 1

y = 2

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

4x + 3 = x + 12

4x - x = 12 - 3

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

6)GH = ?

GH = 4x + 3

GH = 4(3) + 3

= 12 + 3

= 15

therefore, GH = 15

7) HI = ?

HI = 2y + 1

= 2(2) + 1

= 4 +1

= 5

therefore, HI = 5

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

8) m(angle I) = 120 degrees...... (given)

therefore, measure of angle G = measure of angle I

therefore, m(angle G) = 120 degrees

Consecutive angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

9) m(angle I) + m(angle J) = 180 degrees

120 + m (angle J) = 180

m(angle J) = 180 - 120

= 60 degrees.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

10) JK = 9 .........( given)

JK = HK

therefore, HK = 9
