Slope = (3 - (-5)) / (-8-2) = 8/-10 = -4/5

y = -4/5x + b where b = slope intercept

when x = 2 y = -5 so:-

-5 = -4/5 * (2) + b

b = -5 + 8/5 =

Equation is y = -4/5 x - 17/5 answer

First find the slope: Y2-Y1/X2-X1 =-4/5 Then plug in 1 y coordinate and x coordinate to the equation: Y=mx+b Y=-4/5x +b Y=-4/5x-17/5

What expression is equivalent to the area of metal sheet required to make this square-shaped traffic sign?

AveGali [126]

Answer: $\text{Area of the square shaped traffic sign }=16x^2+9+24x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The side of the square shaped traffic sign = 4x+3

We know that the area of square is given by:-

$Area= side^2$

Therefore, the area of the side of the square shaped field is given by:-

$Area=(4x+3)^2$

We know that , $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$

Therefore,

$(4x+3)^2=(4x)^2+(3)^2+2(4x)(3)\\=16x^2+9+24x$

Hence, $\text{Area of the square shaped traffic sign }=16x^2+9+24x$

50× 3/8 how to reduce answer to lowest te

hoa [83]

The lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$ .

Solution:

Given expression is $50\times\frac{3}{8}$

<u>To reduce this term to the lowest term:</u>

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{50}{1}\times\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator.

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{150}{8}$

Now, divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor.

Here 150 and 8 both have common factor 2.

So, divide numerator and denominator by 2.

$$=\frac{150\div2}{8\div2}$

$$=\frac{75}{4}$

$$50\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{75}{4}$

Hence the lowest term is $\frac{75}{4}$ .

Simplify the slope of AC

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A is on the same point on the x-axis as B and the same point on the y-axis as D

Therefore, the coordinate of A is (0,0)

C is on the same point on the x-axis as D and the same point on the y-axis as B.

Therefore, the coordinate of C is (a,a)

We are to determine the slope of the line joining A to C.

$Slope, m =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\(x_1,y_1)=(0,0),(x_2,y_2)=(a,a)\\$Therefore, Slope of AC$\\m =\dfrac{a-0}{a-0}\\=\dfrac{a}{a}\\\\=1$

$Slope\:\: \overline{AC} =1$

Solve 4(x - 3) - 2x - 1) > 0

fgiga [73]

Answer:

x > 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x - 3) - (2x - 1) > 0

4x - 12 - 2x + 1 > 0

4x - 2x - 11 > 0

2x - 11 > 0

2x - 11 + 11 > 0 + 11

2x > 11

2x ÷ 2 > 11 ÷ 2

x > 5.5
