Answer:
See explanation and attachment.
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the ways to represent polynomial is the use of algebraic tiles.
To represent the polynomial x²-5x-1, we would use algebraic tiles to represent each of the three terms.
Algebra tiles come with different colors and sizes. Each size is equivalent to a degree of different monomials.
The x² tile is a monomial with degree of 2, the x tile is a monomial with degree of 1 and the unit tile (constant) is a monomial with degree of 0.
Let the shaded tiles represent the positive tiles and the unshaded tile represent the negative tiles.
Find attached the diagram for the tiles.
To represent the polynomial x² - 5x - 1, we would need 1 shaded x² tile, 5 unshaded x tiles and 1 unshaded unit tile. Then we would arrange the tiles to correspond with the polynomial.
Key info-there are nine boys for every six girls on the softball team
9/6
9(3)=27. 6(3)18
18+27=45 5 more to go
if there is 50 students on each of the teams
9(5)=45
6(8)=48
As one can see,they both cannot multiply up to 50,but they round up.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: 
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.
Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 1/2 and -2, 3/4 and -4/3)
<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>
Rearrange into slope-intercept form:
Now, we can identify clearly that the slope is -2. Because perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals, a perpendicular line would have a slope of 
. Plug this into :
<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>
Plug in the given point (1,3) and solve for <em>b</em>:
Therefore, the y-intercept is 
. Plug this back into :
I hope this helps!
