Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points on the line are:

(x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)=(6,-7)

Now, for a line with two points on it, the slope of the line is given as:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

For the points (x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)=(6,-7), slope is:

m=\frac{-7-(-3)}{6-(-6)}\\m=\frac{-7+3}{6+6}\\m=\frac{-4}{12}=-\frac{1}{3}

Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point (x_1,y_1) on it is given as:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Plug in all the values and determine the equation of the line. This gives,

y-(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-6))\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}\times 6\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-2\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-2-3\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Let x represent the side length of the squares.

We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.

The side of box will be 8-x-x=8-2x and 10-x-x=10-2x.

The height of the box will be x.

The volume of box will be area of base times height.

\text{Volume of box}=(8-2x)(10-2x)\cdot x

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.

\text{Volume of box}=(80-16x-20x+4x^2)\cdot x

\text{Volume of box}=(80-36x+4x^2)\cdot x

Now we will distribute x.

\text{Volume of box}=80x-36x^2+4x^3

V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3

Therefore, the volume of the box would be V(x)=80x-36x^2+4x^3.

A video game system costs $185 and one video game costs $14.95. You can spend no more than $280 on the system and games. set up
disa [49]

Answer:

Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase  

is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185

 is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.

ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game

   system is $280.

iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the

   number  of game systems that can be bought is 1.

 Therefore x = 1.

 Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video

  games  and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280

  Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95

  Therefore y ≤   95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355

  Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase  

   is 6.

Which of the following is the inverse y=3x
Nitella [24]
To find an inverse, switch the x and the y and solve for the new y.  Yours switched is x = 3y.  Now solving for y we divide both sides by 3 to get y = x/3
