Slope intercept equation of a line with a slope of -2/5 that passes through the point (15,-9/2

Vesna [10]

Answer:

im not sure if this is right but -0.358

Step-by-step explanation:

do y2-y1 over x2-x1 then subtract your y values then subtract your x values then you get your numbers then divide those numbers from top divided by bottom.

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than twice its width. The are of a rectangle is 70m^2. Find the dimensions of the rec

igomit [66]

Answer:

The length is 7 m

The width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x - 4

length * width = area

It is given that the area is 70 $m^{2}$

From there

x * (2x - 4) = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x = 70

$2x^{2}$ - 4x - 70 = 0

$x^{2}$ - 2x - 35 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation, which is a $x^{2}$ + bx + c = 0, where a $\neq$ 0

In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35

Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac

D = $-2^{2}$ - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0

This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x

Their formulas are $\frac{- b - \sqrt{D} }{2a}$ and $\frac{- b + \sqrt{D} }{2a}$

$x_{1}$ = $\frac{- (-2) - \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)

$x_{2}$ = $\frac{- (-2) + \sqrt{144} }{2}$ = 7 > 0 (this one is right)

Calculating the dimensions

length = x = 7 (m)

width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luther. After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her. Then at 18

posledela

Part A

x = time in seconds that have gone by

y = distance in meters Superman is away from Lois

"After flying for 15 seconds, he is 2100 meters from her" means we have the point (x,y) = (15, 2100)

"at 18 seconds he is 1980 meters from her" tells us we have a second point (x,y) = (18,1980)

--------

Find the slope of the line through these two points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (1980-2100)/(18-15)

m = (-120)/(3)

m = -40

The slope is -40 which means Superman is getting 40 meters closer each second. I.e, the distance is dropping 40 meters per second

--------

Use one of the points and the slope to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2100 = (-40)*15 + b

2100 = -600 + b

2100+600 = b

b = 2700

This is the starting distance Superman is away from Lois

--------

Since m = -40 and b = 2700, we know the y = mx+b equation becomes y = -40x+2700.

Replace x with s, replace y with m. We now have m = -40s+2700

---------

<h3>Final Answer: m = -40s+2700</h3>

============================================

Part B

Plug s = 6 into the equation we found for part A. Then simplify.

m = -40s+2700

m = -40*6+2700

m = -240+2700

m = 2460

---------

<h3>Final Answer: 2460 meters</h3>
