Answer:

y=-5x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

the points (−1,12) and (1,2)

substitute

m=\frac{2-12}{1+1}

m=\frac{-10}{2}

m=-5

step 2

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is equl to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=-5

point\ (1,2)

substitute in the linear equation and solve for b

2=-5(1)+b

b=2+5=7

therefore

y=-5x+7

A recipe for cookies calls for 2/3 of a cup of sugar per batch. Elena used 5 1/3 cups of sugar to make multiple batch of cookies
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 8 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the number of batches she made, we can just use proportion to solve it. But first, we need to convert 5 1/3 to improper fraction

5 1/3 = 16/3

Then we can now use the proportion to solve

2/3 cups = 1 batch

16/3 cups = x (note:5 1/3=16/3)

cross multiply

2/3 × x = 16 /3

2x/ 3 = 16/3

we need to make x the subject of the formula, to do that we will multiply each side of the equation by 3/2

2/3 × 3/2 x = 16/3 × 3/2

6x /6 = 48 / 6

x = 8

Therefore she made 8 batches of cookies.

What multiplies to -1 and adds to 2
jok3333 [9.3K]
    xy = -1
x + y = 2

  x + y = -2
- x         - x
        y = -x - 2

                           xy = -1
                  x(-x + 2) = -1
              x(-x) + x(2) = -1
                   -x² + 2x = -1
                         + 1   + 1
-x² + 2x + 1 = 0
-1(x²) - 1(-2x) - 1(-1) = 0
           -1(x² - 2x - 1) = 0
                     -1           -1
                x² - 2x - 1 = 0
x = -(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(-1))
                      2(1)
x = 2 ± √(4 - 4(-1))
                2
x = 2 ± √(4 + 4)
              2
x = 2 ± √(8)
           2
x = 2 ± 2√(2)
           2
x = 1 ± √(2)

               x + y = 2
  (1 ± √(2)) + y = 2
- (1 ± √(2))       - (1 ± √(2))
                     y = 1 ± √(2)
               (x, y) = (1 ± √(2), 1 ± √(2))

The numbers that multiply to -1 and add to 2 are 1 ± √(2).

You roll a fair 6-sided die what is p (not 3)
Ulleksa [173]
As a fraction, the exact answer is 5/6
In decimal form, the approximate answer is 0.8333

To get this answer, note how there are 5 ways to roll something that isn't a three (1,2,4,5,6) out of 6 ways total (1,2,3,4,5,6)

So you simply divide the two values to get 5/6 = 0.8333

The answer: m∡BCD = 130° .
_____________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________
m∡BCD = 9x - 5 = our answer.
_____________________________
Note: (9x - 5) + (m∡C IN Δ  ACB)= 180 ;
____________________________
Reason: all angles on straight line add up to 180.
___________________________
Note: In Δ ACB; m∡A + m∡B + m∡c = 180.
_________________________________________
Reason: All three angles in any triangle add up to 180.
__________________________________________
Given  Δ ACB, we are given:
_____________
m∡C= ?
m∡B = (4x + 5)
m∡A = 65
_____________________
So, given  Δ ACB; m∡A + m∡B + m∡c = 180;
 →Plug in our known values and rewrite:
___________________________________
Given  Δ ACB; 65 + 4x + 5 + (m∡c) = 180;
  →Simplify, and rewrite:
___________________________________
Given  Δ ACB; 4x + 70 + (m∡c) = 180;
  →Subtract "70" from each side of the equation; and rewrite:
___________________________________
Given  Δ ACB; 4x + (m∡C) = 110;
   →Subtract "4x" from EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate: "(m∡c)" on one side of the equation; and "solve in terms of "(m∡C)" ;
______________________________________________
Given Δ ACB' m∡C = 110 - 4x ;
__________________________________________
So, we know that: (110 - 4x) + (9x - 5) = 180; (since all angles on a straight line add up to 180.
____________________
We can solve for "x".
____________________
(110 - 4x) + (9x - 5) = 180;
________________________
Rewrite as: 
___________
(110 - 4x) + 1(9x - 5) = 180 ;  (Note: there is an implied coefficient of "1"; since anything multiplied by "1" equals that same value).
_______________________
Note the "distributive property of multiplication": 
_________________
 a*(b+c) = ab + ac ; AND:
 a*(b - c) = ab - ac .
_______________________
So, +1(9x - 5) = (+1*9x) - (+1*5) = 9x - 5 ;
__________________________
So we can rewrite:
___________________
(110 - 4x) + (9x - 5) = 180 ; as:
________________________
110 - 4x + 9x - 5 = 180 ;  We can simplify this by combining "like terms" on                                         the "left-hand side" of the equation:
_________________________________________________
110 - 5 = 105 ;
-4x + 9x = 5x; 
______________
So, rewrite as: 5x + 105 = 180;  Subtract "105" from EACH side; to get:
_____________________________________
 5x  = 75 ; Now, divide each side of the equation by "5"; 
              to get: x = 15.
_____________________________________________
Now, we want to know: m∡BCD; which equals:
_____________________________________________
 9x - 5 ;  let us substitute "15" for "x"; and solve:
______________________
9x - 5 = 9*(15) - 5 = 135 - 5 = 130.
_____________________________
The answer: m∡BCD = 130°
