Let's say the cost to feed each horse is $5.00.

The expression would be written as:

(5.00)h or simplified as 5h

This is because you are multiplying the cost for feeding each horse by the amount of horses, represented as h.

If you are feeding 6 horses you would substitute the h for 6 giving you the expression:

5(6)

which equals $30 total.

Hope this helps and have a nice day! :)

If m∠JKM = 43, m∠MKL = (8 - 20), and m∠JKL = (10x - 11), find each measure.

Brut [27]

Correct Question: If m∠JKM = 43, m∠MKL = (8x - 20), and m∠JKL = (10x - 11), find each measure.

1. x = ?

2. m∠MKL = ?

3. m∠JKL = ?

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<JKM = 43,

m<MKL = (8x - 20),

m<JKL = (10x - 11).

Required:

1. Value of x

2. m<MKL

3. m<JKL

Solution:

1. Value of x:

m<JKL = m<MKL + m<JKM (angle addition postulate)

Therefore:

$(10x - 11) = (8x - 20) + 43$

Solve for x

$10x - 11 = 8x - 20 + 43$

$10x - 11 = 8x + 23$

Subtract 8x from both sides

$10x - 11 - 8x = 8x + 23 - 8x$

$2x - 11 = 23$

Add 11 to both sides

$2x - 11 + 11 = 23 + 11$

$2x = 34$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{34}{2}$

$x = 17$

2. m<MKL = 8x - 20

Plug in the value of x

m<MKL = 8(17) - 20 = 136 - 20 = 116°

3. m<JKL = 10x - 11

m<JKL = 10(17) - 11 = 170 - 11 = 159°

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (1,3) (5,1) y-3=?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$m-\text{This represents the slope.}\\\\(x_1,y_1)-\text{This represents the point used in the equation.}$

We have to complete the point-slope equation of the line through (1,3) (5,1).

--------------------------------------------------------

We have a incomplete equation of the line.

$y-3=m(x-x_1)$

We need to find the <u>slope</u> of the line, and the <u>value</u> of $x_1$ .

--------------------------------------------------------

<h3>Finding 'x1':</h3>

It seems that the value of 3 was used to be $y_1$ . This means that the point $(1,3)$ was used for the equation. This means that $x_1$ would have to be 1.

<h3>Finding Slope:</h3>

Slope is rise over run.

$m=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given the points (1,3) and (5,1).

$m=\frac{1-3}{5-1}=\frac{-2}{4}=\frac{-1}{2}=\boxed{-\frac{1}{2}}$

The slope is one-half.

--------------------------------------------------------

We now have enough information to complete the point-slope equation.

${\left \{ {{x_1=1} \atop {m=-\frac{1}{2} }} \right.}\\\\y-3=m(x-x_1)\rightarrow\boxed{y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-1)}$

Our final equation is:

$y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-1)$

The endpoints of GE are located at G(–6, –4) and E(4, 8). Using slope-intercept form, write the equation of GE.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:
Equation of the line is:
y = 1.2x + 3.2

Explanation:
The general form of the linear equation is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope:
The slope of the line can be calculated using the following formula:
m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

We are given the points:
(-6,-4) representing (x1,y1)
(4,8) representing (x2,y2)
Substitute with the given points in the above equation to get the slope as follows:
m = $\frac{8--4}{4--6} = 6/5$

The equation of the line now is:
y = 1.2x + c

2- getting the y-intercept:
To get the value of the c, we will use any of the given points, substitute in the equation and solve for c.
I will use the point (4,8) as follows:
y = 1.2 x + c
8 = 1.2(4) + c
c = 16/5 = 3.2

Therefore, the equation of the line is:
y = 1.2x + 3.2

Hope this helps :)
