Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (2,-2) and is perpendicular to x + 5y =6

1 answer:

3 0

X + 5y = 6
5y = -x + 6
y = -1/5x + 6/5....the slope here is -1/5. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is flip the original slope and change the sign. So we flip -1/5 and make is -5/1....and we change the sign...making it 5/1 or just 5. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
sub and find b, the y int
-2 = 5(2) + b
-2 = 10 + b
-2 - 10 = b
-12 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = 5x - 12 <=

inessss [21]

77(7) = 539, the total points of all her tests

539 - 18 + 81 = correct total points = 602

602/7 = 86 which is the new average

Can someone explain this please???

A function is a rule that assigns exactly one output to a given input. The input is taken from a set called the domain, and the corresponding output belongs to a set called the range.

1. In this exercise, we're calling the pool of patients 1-8 the domain, and the pool of nurses A-D the range. The given table describes a function because any patient is assigned to only one nurse.

2. This wouldn't be a function if at least one patient was assigned to more than one nurse. If this were to happen in practice, the patient could be, say, given the same dose of some medicine twice if the nurses aren't careful.

3. Making the nurse pool the domain and the patient pool the range would give a relation that is not a function, since more than one patient is assigned to one nurse.

If the revenue for the week is $2000, and labor cost consist of two workers earning $8 per hour who works 40 hours each, whay is

SVEN [57.7K]

Two workers earning 8 bucks an hour for 40hrs, well, that means each worker is making 8*40 or 320 bucks, now, is two workers, so 320+320 or 640 is the total cost then.

now, the revenue, sales income, is 2,000 bucks, how much is 640 off of?

well, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 640 in percentage off of it?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2000&100\\
640&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2000}{640}=\cfrac{100}{x}$

solve for "x".

Solve the equation 3p (3p - 8) - 8 = 9p ( p - 3 + 4

pentagon [3]

Answer:

$p= \frac{-8}{33}$

Explanation:

Given:

$3p (3p - 8) - 8 = 9p ( p - 3 + 4)$

To Find:

Value of p=?

Solution:

Before solving this equation, we will use the method of BODMAS which states that we first solve the Bracket then Off then Division then Multiplier then addition and at last subtraction.

Now we will solve the both right and left hand side of the equation

$3p (3p - 8) - 8 = 9p ( p - 3 + 4)$

$9p^2-24p-8=9p^2+9p$
