Answer:
the slope is -2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for y.
2x + 5y + 1 = 0
5y = -2x - 1
y = -2/5 x - 1/5
Compare to
y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
m = -2/5
Answer: the slope is -2/5
1. 3x² + 12x - 15 = 0
x = <u>-(12) +/- √((12)² - 4(3)(-15))</u>
2(3)
x = <u>-12 +/- √(144 + 180)</u>
6
x = <u>-12 +/- √(324)
</u> 6<u>
</u> x = <u>-12 +/- 18 </u>
6
x = -2 <u>+</u> 3
x = -2 + 3 x = -2 - 3
x = 1 x = -5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. 5x² + 11x + 2 = 0
x = <u>-(11) +/- √((11)² - 4(5)(2))</u>
2(5)
x = <u>-11 +/- √(121 - 40)</u>
10
x = <u>-11 +/- √(81)
</u> 10
x = <u>-11 +/- 9</u>
10
x = -1¹/₁₀ <u>+</u> ⁹/₁₀
x = -1¹/₁₀ + ⁹/₁₀ x = -1¹/₁₀ - ⁹/₁₀
x = ¹/₅ x = -2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. 2x² - 11x + 14 = 0
x = <u>-(-11) +/- √((-11)² - 4(2)(14))</u>
2(3)
x = <u>11 +/- √(121 - 102)</u>
6
x = <u>11 +/- √(9)</u>
6
x = <u>11 +/- 3</u>
6
x = 1⁵/₆ <u>+</u> ¹/₂
x = 1⁵/₆ + ¹/₂ x = 1⁵/₆ - ¹/₂
x = 2¹/₃ x = 1¹/₃
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. 2x² - x - 15 = 0
x = <u>-(-1) +/- √((-1)² - 4(2)(-15))</u>
2(2)
x = <u>1 +/- √(1 + 120)</u>
4
x = <u>1 +/- √(121)</u>
4
x = <u>1 +/- 11</u>
4
x = ¹/₄ <u>+</u> 2³/₄
x = ¹/₄ + 2³/₄ x = ¹/₄ - 2³/₄
x = 3 x = 2¹/₂

Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
if their ages total is 60 and gabrielle's is two times mikhail's age, that means that Mikhail would be twenty because their age times 2 would be 40 and 40 plus 20 is 60.
Answer:
(a) 5/7 chance
(b) 2/7 chance
(c) 5/7 chance
Step-by-step explanation:
Event X: There are 3 letters that come before "D". A, B, and C. There is a 3 out of 7 chance of picking one of those letters. (3/7)
Event Y: There are 4 letters in "C A G E". Those 4 letters are in the 7 first letters of the alphabet meaning that they are in our pile of tiles. There is a 4 out of 7 chance of picking one of those letters. (4/7)
(a) Since there is a 3/7 chance of Event X happening and a 4/7 chance of Event Y happening, there is a <u>5/7 chance</u> of either Event X or Event Y happening since tiles "A" and "C" are included in both events.
(b) Since there is a 3/7 chance of Event X happening and a 4/7 chance of Event Y happening, there is a <u>2/7 chance</u> of both X and Y happening since there are only 2 tiles that are the same in both events, "A" and "C". (We are only allowed to pick one tile)
(c) The complement of Event Y is 1-4/7=<u>5/7 chance</u>.
