Y=mx+c 
m= -5 

Just substitute the values of the point into the equation to find c

-17=-5 x 4 +b 
-70+20+b 
3=b

y=-5x+3 

Hope I helped :)

Y = -5x + b

-17 = -5(4) + b

-17 = -20 + b
+20 +20

3 = b

y = -5x + 3

Solve: –3x – 24 ≤ –36 what is x equal to?
Kay [80]

Answer:

X <= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x - 24<= -36

Make -3x the subject, by carrying -24 to the other side

Note: Moving -24 to the other side changes to + 24

-3x <= -36 + 24

-3x <= - 12

Minus cancels minus

3x <= 12

Divide both sides by 3,to get the value of x

3x/3 <= 12/3

x <= 12/3

x <= 4

Therefore, x equals to 4

The base of the 37 foot ladder is 9 feet from the wall of a building. will the top of the ladder reach a window ledge 35 feet ab
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math in this problem is that we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve it. Pythagorean theorem is part of trigonometry a branch of Maths.

Data

base = 9 ft                      

length = 37 ft

height = ?

Pythagorean theorem

                                     c² = a² + b²

length = c

base = a

height = b

                                   37² = 9² + b²

-Solve for b

                                    b² = 37² - 9²

-Simplify

                                    b² = 1369 - 81

                                    b² = 1288

-Result

                                   b = 35.88

-Conclusion

The ladder will reach a height higher than 35 ft.

Using the equation of the line (y = 0.5x + 79), what would be the melting point of dna with 50% gc content? enter your answer as
steposvetlana [31]
We have the equation of the line as follows:
y = 0.5x + 79

We want to calculate the melting point (the y value) of DNA  with 50% gc content (the x value).
The gc content represents the value of x in the equation, so to calculate the melting point (y), we will simply substitute the x with 50 in the equation of the line as follows:
melting point = 0.5(50) + 79 = 25 + 79 = 104 degrees
