The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=-5/2

point (4,-3)

substitute in the expression above

-3=-(5/2)(4)+b

solve for b

-3=-10+b

b=10-3

b=7

therefore

the equation of the line is

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. Jayden's Work Sheridan's Work a2 + b2 = c2 a2 + b

Svetlanka [38]

No, they are both incorrect by my understanding of your question use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 =c^, therefore, 7^2 +x^2 = 13^2 or 49+x=169 then solve normally 169-49=120 √120 =5

The answer is 5

Find the value of x in the triangle listed here. If you could show me the steps, I would appreciate it.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is an isosceles triangle. Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and two equal angles. When all 3 angles are added, it should have a sum of 180°. The tip of the triangle is the part of the triangle with the smallest degree/angle. So the two remaining angles are the same amount.

180°=38°+x+?

180°=38°+71°+71°

Both missing angles are the same degree, and when both are added to 38, it has a sum of 180. x is equal to 71°.

suppose 25 out of 175 people said they like to play disc golf and out 5 out of every twelve of the players have a personalized b

Serhud [2]

We have $\frac{5}{12}$ of 252 people who have a personalized black disc

Number of people who would have personalized flying disc = $\frac{5}{12}*252= \frac{2*252}{12}=105$ people

Then we work out the number of people who like to play disc golf:
$\frac{25}{175}*105= \frac{25*105}{175}=15$ people

So we have 15 people who like to play disc golf and have personalised black disc.
