The slope of this equation would be 2/9 and the y-intercept would be -8/9.

In order to find this, we have to solve the equation for y.

2x - 9y = 8 -----> subtract 2x from both sides

-9y = -2x = 8 -----> divide by -9

y = 2/9x - 8/9

Now we know that the slope is the number attached to x and the y-intercept is the constant at the end.

Find the equation of the graphed line.

Alex_Xolod [135]

example: the line is y = ax + b

The line go through 2 points ( -4 ; 0 ) and ( 0 ; -2 )

So:

-2 = 0a + b => b = -2
0 = -4a + (-2) => a = 2/-4 = -1/2

The line is y = -1/2x - 2 ( i'm not sure)

Answer: a

Ok done. Thank to me :>

Anika [276]

Answer:

The rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of "1" mi and a speed of "430" mi/h passes directly over a radar station.

$z=1$

$\frac{dx}{dt}=430$

We need to find the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station.

$y=2$

According to Pythagoras

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

$y^2=x^2+1^2$

$y^2=x^2+1$ .... (1)

Put z=1 and y=2, to find the value of x.

$2^2=x^2+1^2$

$4=x^2+1$

$4-1=x^2$

$3=x^2$

Taking square root both sides.

$\sqrt{3}=x$

Differentiate equation (1) with respect to t.

$2y\frac{dy}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}+0$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y\frac{dy}{dt}=x\frac{dx}{dt}$

Put $x=\sqrt{3}$ , y=2, $\frac{dx}{dt}=430$ in the above equation.

$2\frac{dy}{dt}=\sqrt{3}(430)$

Divide both sides by 2.

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}(430)}{2}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=372.390923627$

$\frac{dy}{dt}\approx 372$

Therefore the rate at which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 2 mi away from the station is 372 mi/h.

Find the sale price to the nearest cent .. $40 sweater; 33%discount

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$26.80

Step-by-step explanation:

(I don't know exactly how other people were taught to do percentages, but this is how I was taught and I find it the easiest for me.)

You are going to subtract your percentage number by 100.

100 - 33 = 67

This will give you your multiplier so you can then get your answer but you have to turn it into a decimal.

0.67 x 40 = 26.80
