Answer:

$y=\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{67}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form of a linear equation:

$y=mx+b$

where:

m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.

Rearrange the given equation so that it is in slope-intercept form:

$\implies -5x-7y=-17$

$\implies -7y=5x-17$

$\implies y=-\dfrac{5}{7}x+\dfrac{17}{7}$

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is -⁵/₇.

If two lines are perpendicular to each other (at right angles), the product of their slopes will be -1. Therefore, their slopes will be negative reciprocals of each other.

Therefore, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given equation is:

$\sf m=\dfrac{7}{5}$

Substitute the found slope and the given point (6, -5) into the slope-intercept formula and solve for b:

$\implies -5=\dfrac{7}{5}(6)+b$

$\implies -5=\dfrac{42}{5}+b$

$\implies b=-\dfrac{67}{5}$

Substitute the found slope and the found value of b into the slope-intercept formula to create the equation for the perpendicular line:

$\implies y=\dfrac{7}{5}x-\dfrac{67}{5}$

Which of these is a linear equation in standard form for the graph shown?

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the slope is a positive slope (goes through the positive quandrants on the graph), we can eliminate answer choices c. Now, if we solve a, b, and d and we can see if the slope + y-intercept matches the graph.

For A.) (solve for y to get a y=mx + b equation)

3x-2y=4

-2y= -3x + 4

y= 3/2 -2

For B.)

3x-2y= -4

-2y= -4-3x

y= 3/2 + 2

For D.)

2x+3y= 4

3y= 4-2x

y= -2/3x + 4/3

Now, if we look at D, the slope is negative so it cannot be D. That leaves us with A and B. The b in the y=mx + b equation stands for the y-intercept, so we can see that the y-intercept is 2. So, since the graph intersects the y-axis at (0,2), the answer is B! y=3/2 + 2 has a positive slope and 2 for the y-intercept!

I need to find the area, I just need to show my work any answers can help.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Area of rectangle: 15 x 7 = 105
area of semicircle: 1/2 (3.14r^2)
radius is half of diameter so it would be 7.5
1/2 (3.14(7.5)^2)
=1/2 (176.71)
=88.355
rounded is 88.4

If 33% of the members of Sweetheart Union sign petitions to decertify the union, the National Labor Relations Board will call an

Elis [28]

Answer:

There is no need to call for election.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Surveys are based on probability or statistics. It serves as a standard tool for experimental research in marketing, social sciences and official data statistics.

Since 8 out of 40 members of the Sweetheart Union will sign the petition, the percentage of those who will sign the petition is calculated below:

$\frac{8}{40}*100=20\%$

Based on the sample survey, only 20 percent of the members will sign the petition. Since, in the sample, the number of those who will sign is less than 33%, the union should be told that there is no need for the National Labor Relations Board to call for the election.

SOME ONE PLEASE HELP WITH THIS MATH QUIZ PLASE HONEST AWNSERS!!!

Liula [17]

Answer:

1. d 2. d 3. a

Step-by-step explanation:

1. factor

((w-4)(w-6))/((w-5)(w-6))+8/(w-5)

solve

(w-4)/(w-5)+8/(w-5)

(w+4)/(w-5), so d

2.factor

((b+2)(b-4))((b+2)(b-1))-6/(b-1)

solve

(b-4)/(b-1)-6(b-1)

(b-10)/(b-1), so d

3. (2/5t-3/3t)/(1/2t+1/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(2/2t)

(2/5t-1/t)/(1/t)

t(2/5t-1/t)

2/5-1=-3/5, so a
