Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.

A car's velocity is modeled by

Igoryamba

In accordance with the function velocity, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.

Herein we have a function of the velocity of a car (v), in feet per second, in terms of time (t), in seconds. The car stops for t > 0 and v = 0, then we have the following expression:

0.5 · t² - 10.5 · t + 45 = 0

t² - 21 · t + 90 = 0

By the quadratic formula we get the following two roots: t₁ = 15, t₂ = 6. The stopping time is the least root of the quadratic equation, that is, the car will have a complete stop after 6 seconds.

1. there were 136 students and 34 adults in the concert. if 85% of the seats were filled how many seats are in the auditorium?

SpyIntel [72]

1. There are 170 seats filled total. 170 is 85% of 200. There are 200 seats in the auditorium.

2. If you were to solve for x in the equation 40% = 32/x, you would get x = 80.
