Answer: y = -1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y in 15y = 3y – 15

First, we combine like terms

3y - 15y = 15

-12y = 15

Divide both sides by -12

y = 15/ -12

y = - 1.25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15y = 3y - 15

15y - 3y = -15

12y = -15

y = \frac{-15}{12}

y = -1.25

Answer:

C. -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

well the formula for slope is m=(y2-y1/x2-x1). y2 = -5 y1= 3 x2 = 2 x1 = -14. put that all together to get -5-3/2-(-14). well -5 - 3 = -8. the second one is like a multiplication problem so a negative minus a negative is a positive. which give u 2 + 14 = 16. so you get the fraction -8/16 both are divisible by 8 so divide the equation by 8 and you get -1/2.

HELP Use either law of sines or law of cosine. Need help on this problem! show work please!​
Marina86 [1]

Answer: x = 15.035677095729 approximately

Round this however you need to.

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

Explanation:

I'm assuming you want to find the value of x, which your diagram is showing to be the length of segment QR.

If so, then we'll need to find the measure of angle Q first. Using the law of sines, we get the following:

sin(Q)/q = sin(R)/r

sin(Q)/PR = sin(R)/PQ

sin(Q)/13 = sin(85)/19

sin(Q) = 13*sin(85)/19

sin(Q) = 0.6816068987

Q = arcsin(0.6816068987) ... or ... Q = 180-arcsin(0.6816068987)

Q = 42.9693397461 ... or ... Q = 137.0306602539

These values are approximate.

----------------

Now if Q = 42.9693397461 approximately, then angle P is

P = 180-Q-R

P = 180-42.9693397461-85

P = 52.0306602539

Similarly, if Q = 137.0306602539 approximately, then,

P = 180-Q-R

P = 180-137.0306602539-85

P = -42.0306602539

A negative angle is not possible, so we'll ignore Q = 137.0306602539

----------------

The only possible value of angle P is approximately P = 52.0306602539

Let's apply the law of sines again to find side p, aka segment QR

sin(P)/p = sin(R)/r

sin(P)/QR = sin(R)/PQ

sin(52.0306602539)/x = sin(85)/19

19*sin(52.0306602539) = x*sin(85)

19*sin(52.0306602539)/sin(85) = x

x = 15.035677095729

This value is approximate.

Round this value however you need to.

write a point-slope equation for the line that passes through the point (6,8) and is parallel to the line given by y=-5x+4
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

  y -8 = -5(x -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is generally written ...

  y -k = m(x -h)

for slope m and point (h, k).

The slope of your parallel line is the same as the slope of the reference line, -5. So your equation is ...

  y -8 = -5(x -6)

Please help! I’m very confused on this question. I’m not very good at geometry.
Ahat [919]

Well, to find the perimeter we have to add all of the side lengths, so let's do that:

2x+3 +2x+3 +2x

And we know that this equals 36 so let's solve for x

2x+3+2x+3+2x = 36

6x+6 = 36

6x = 30

x = 5

So we know know that x = 5.

Now all you have to do is plug in the values of x into the lengths

2(5) + 3

= 10+3

= 13 is the length of two of the sides.

2x

= 2(5)

= 10

And 10 is the length of the last side.
