Graph the line y=-3x

Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation: Let's graph the equation y = -3x using its slope and y-intercept. The problem here is that our equation doesn't match up quite so well with the formula y = mx + b

Our slope or <em>m</em> which is represented by the coefficient of the x-term is clearly -3. However, you might be asking what is our y-intercept or <em>b</em>. Well, y = -3x can be thought of as y = -3x + 0. So you can now see that our <em>b</em> or y-intercept equals 0.

To graph the line, we start with the y-intercept. So our first point is a 0 on the y-axis and we call that point A. When the slope is a integer, you can change it to a fraction by putting it over 1. So our slope of -3 can be thought of as -3/1.

From point A, we would go down 3 units and over 1 unit to plot point B. Now we can connect points A and B like I did in the picture and we have our line.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph y = -3x.  Start at the origin (0, 0).  Place a dark dot there.  Now, starting with your pencil point on that dot, move 1 space to the right and from this new point move 3 spaces down.  Place a dark dot at this new point.

Now draw a straight line through both dark dots.  This is the desired graph.

Find the missing length indicated <br> A) 25<br> B) 5<br> C) 8<br> D) 3
Nonamiya [84]

Given:

The figure of a triangle.

To find:

The missing length.

Solution:

Let x be the missing length.

Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): According to this theorem, if a line is parallel to the one side of a triangle then that the line intersects the other two sides of the triangle in the same ratio.

Using Basic proportionality theorem, we get

\dfrac{6}{8-6}=\dfrac{12-x}{x}

\dfrac{6}{2}=\dfrac{12-x}{x}

3=\dfrac{12-x}{x}

3x=12-x

Adding x on both sides, we get

3x+x=12

4x=12

x=\dfrac{12}{4}

x=3

The missing length is 3 Therefore, the correct option is D.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 296 yards. if the length of the field is 79 yards, what is its width?
Len [333]
Perimeter of rectangle is 2L + 2W
perimeter is 296
length of field is 79

Solve
2L + 2W = 296
2(79) + 2W = 296
158 + 2W = 296
2W = 296 - 158 = 138
W = 138/2 = 69 yards
