Describe how to draw a line that passes through the origin and has a slope of 3/5

1 answer:

3 0

The "origin" of a line is simply the points (0, 0)

To draw a line that passes through the origin (0, 0) & has a slope of 3/5, we simply start by drawing a point at (0, 0).

Then, from there, you use the slope to find your next points.

Slope = rise/run

So, 3 is the rise, and 5 is the run.

So, starting from (0, 0), you go up 3 times, and go to the right 5 times. So, (3, 5) is your next point. Just continue doing that and you'll get a line.

We have x^2 + 2 · x · (11/2) + (11/2)^2 = - 24 + (11/2)^2;
Then, ( x + 11/2 )^2 = -24 + 121/4;
( x + 11/2 )^2 + 96/4 - 121/4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - 25 / 4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - (5/2)^2 = 0;
( x + 11/2 - 5/2)·( x + 11/2 + 5/2 ) = 0;
( x + 6/2 )·( x + 16/2 ) = 0;
( x + 3 )· ( x + 8 ) = 0;
x = - 3 or x = -8;
The first choice is the correct answer.

Answer:

P = 10/7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

w ≥ 6

l ≥ 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to P = 2(l+w) where l=length and w=width. Here the length is 2/7. This means the width is 3/7. Substitute l=2/7 and w=3/7 into the perimeter equation. Then solve for P.

$P = 2(\frac{2}{7} +\frac{3}{7} )\\\\P = 2(\frac{5}{7})\\\\P = \frac{10}{7}$
