Solving for y, we add 5y to both sides and subtract 4, getting 9x-4=5y. Dividing both sides by 5, we get 9x/5-4/5=y. Since the slope is 9/5 (since 9/5*x=9x/5), we multiply it by -1 and find the reciprocal of it to get -5/9 as the perpendicular slope, so -5x/9+b=y. Plugging 1 in for x and -6 in for y, we get -5*1/9+b=-6 and by adding 5/9 to both sides we get -5-4/9=b , and since in y=mx+b y and x are variables, we end up with y=-5x/9+(-5-4/9) for slope intercept form.

To get it into standard form, we need it in ay+cx=b with a, b, and c being constants. Adding 5x/9 to both sides, we end up with y+5x/9=(-5-4/9) for standard form

What do you mean by coefficient?<br>With example!

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: A coefficient refers to a number or quantity placed with a variable

Step-by-step explanation: For example, in the expression 3x, 3 is the coefficient but in the expression x2 + 3, 1 is the coefficient of x2. In other words, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in the terms of a polynomial, a series, or any expression.

The function d(x)=1375-110 represents the distance a high speed train is from its destination after x hours. How long does the t

aalyn [17]

D(x)=1375-110x
when it reaches 0 it has reached destination
0=1375-110x
add 110x to both sides
110x=1375
divide both sides by 110
x=12.5
answer is 12.5 hour

4. Determine whether the statement is true or false. Prove the statement directly from the definition if it is true, and give a

natta225 [31]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent two odd integers.

The average (A) is defined by:

A= $\frac{a+b}{2}$

In order to prove the statement, you have to show that it's true for all odd integers. But, to disprove it, you just have to find a counterexample where the statement is false.

Notice that it is easier to try to find a counterexample.

For example, a=3 and b=5

A= $\frac{3+5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4$
