Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so convert the equation -x + y = 5 into slope intercept form by adding x to both sides

(-x + x) + y = 5 + x

0 + y = 5 + x

y = 5 + x

To match the slope intercept formula switch the x and 5 around

y = x + 5

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope (m) but they have different b

This means that the slope of the line will be 1 (in front of the x is an invisible 1 which would be m)

This is what we have so far...

y = x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in the point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation.

(2, -5)

-5 = 1(2) + b

-5 = 2 + b

-7 = b

y = x + (-7)

y = x - 7

Hope this helped!

USE y=mx+b

m=Slope

b= Y-intercept

So y=x-7

Answer:

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable cost= $2

Selling price per unit= $5

To calculate the profit earned, we need to use the unitary contribution margin formula. The contribution margin is a product's price minus all associated variable costs (sales- variable costs), resulting in the incremental profit earned for each unit sold.

Unitary contribution margin= 5 - 2 = 3

Now, the profit formula:

Gross profit formula= number of units*unitary contribution margin

Gross profit formula= 3x

x= number of units sold

(1+5i) + (-8+i) ? Need answer and steps

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

6 $\sqrt{-1}$ -7

Step-by-step explanation:

simplyifying this we get

1+5i-8+i

= 6i-7

I am assuming the i you are talking about here is the sqrt of negative one so that would be 6 $\sqrt{-1}$ -7

A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up for the 100-meter butterfly event. The first heat has 6 swimmers. How many different wa

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up. To calculate the arrangement of first 6 swimmers in first heat we will use combinations because order doesn't matter.

So to select 6 swimmers out of 13 contestants number of different ways

= $^{13}C_{6}$

= $\frac{13!}{(6!)(13-6)!}$

= $\frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{6!\times 7!}$

= $\frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8}{6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}$

= $\frac{1235520}{720}$

= 1716

Therefore, 6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.

Water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level. Identif

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
