You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes.  So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:  if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then 

y-b=m(x-a).  You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.

On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster:  y=mx+b.

Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5).  Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).

Then write the finished equation:  y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.

Two passenger train, A and B, 450 km apart, star to move toward each other at the same time and meet after 2hours.
likoan [24]

Let v be the speed of train A, and let's set the origin in the initial position of train A. The equations of motion are

\begin{cases}s_A(t) = vt\\s_B(t) = -\dfrac{8}{7}vt+450\end{cases}

where s_A,\ s_B are the positions of trains A and B respectively, and t is the time in hours.

The two trains meet if and only if s_A=s_B, and we know that this happens after two hours, i.e. at t=2

\begin{cases}s_A(2) = 2v\\s_B(2) = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450\end{cases}\implies 2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450

Solving this equation for v we have

2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450 \iff \dfrac{30}{7}v=450 \iff v=\dfrac{450\cdot 7}{30} = 105

So, train A is travelling at 105 km/h. This implies that train B travels at

105\cdot \dfrac{8}{7} = 15\cdot 8=120 \text{ km/h}

Which is the correct answer
VashaNatasha [74]

Let s denote the number of pages in each issue of the sports magazine.

Let t denote the number of pages in each issue of the technology magazine.

Given that a sports magazine prints 12 issues per year and a technology magazine prints 10 issues per year.The total number of pages in all the issues of the sports magazine for one year is 32 more than the total number of pages in all the issues of the technology magazine for one year.

This can be written in equation as,

12s=10t+32

Since, it is given that, "Each issue of the sports magazine has 18 fewer pages than each issue of the technology magazine".

This can be written in equation as,

s=t-18

Thus, the set of equations that represent the given data is

12s=10t+32 and s=t-18

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

There are 96 female staff in an office. If the ratio of male staff to female staff is 3:4, find the number of male staff​.
Alex

Answer:60 male staff

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, there are 96 female staff. The ratio of male to female is 3:4. We’re going to use a proportion which looks like this. 3/4 = x/96. X is a variable that takes the place of the male staff since we don’t know what it is. Now, the question is what do we do to get from 4 to 96. So 96/4 = 24, so 4 x 20 = 96. To keep this ratio equivalent whatever you do to the top you have to do to the bottom so 4 x 20 = 96 and 3 x 20 = 60. So there are 60 male staff.

Mhanifa please help! Explain how you can use the perpendicular bisector of a segment to draw an isosceles triangle.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If you construct the perpendicular bisector of a line segment, every point on the perpendicular bisector will be the same distance from both point A and point B.

To construct an isosceles triangle, you can start from any point on the perpendicular bisector and draw line segments to point A and to point B
