Write an equation of a line that passes through (5,

enyata [817]

Answer:

y = 1/5x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular to a line means we flip the slope to opposite of what it is

in other wrds, since your slope is -5, your new slope for the line perpendicular to it would be 1/5.

Now we just use the same equation to find the y-intercept, which is b.

y = mx + b; m is your slope and b is your y intercept.

use the points given; (5, -10).

-10 = 1/5(5) + b

-10 = 1 + b

-11 = b

now put your equation together since you have all the pieces

y = 1/5x - 11

Answer:

4.

400 ft elevation at 1 km and 3 km from the start
300 ft/km average rate of change over the first 4 km

5.

length = 3.5 cm
width = 3.5 cm
height = 7.0 cm

6.

6 mo: $1018.14
5 yrs: $1196.89
avg incr: $3.28 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>4.</h3>

A graphing calculator is handy for solving problems involving cubic polynomials. You're interested in where the elevation is 400 ft. Since the value of f(x) is in hundreds of feet, you want to find x such that f(x) = 4.

Values of x where that is the case are x=1 and x=3, representing distances of 1 km and 3 km from the start of the road.

The average rate of change of elevation is the difference in elevation divided by the difference in distance from the start:

average rate of change = (f(4) -f(0) hundred ft)/((4 - 0) km)

= (19 -7)/4 hundred feet/km

= 12/4 hundred feet/km = 300 ft/km

___

<h3>5.</h3>

You want to find x when ...

A(x) = 122.5 cm²

10x² = 122.5 cm² . . . . substitute the given expression for A(x)

x² = 12.25 cm² . . . . . . divide by 10

x = √(12.25 cm²) = 3.5 cm . . . . take the square root

The diagram tells you ...

length = width = x = 3.5 cm

height = 2x = 7.0 cm

___

<h3>6.</h3>

Evaluate the given expression for the different values of m:

$1000·1.003^6 ≈ $1018.14 . . . . 6-month value

$1000·1.003^60 ≈ $1196.89 . . . . 5-year value

The increase is $1196.89 -1000.00 = $196.89. That increase took place over 60 months, so the average increase per month is ...

$196.89/(60 mo) ≈ $3.28 per mo . . . . average per month over 5 years

What is the slope of the line that passes through these two points? (-3, 2) (4, 2)

Alik [6]

Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, I found that an easy way is the equation y2 - y1 over (divided by) x2 - x1

so for this, it would be:

$\frac{2 - 2}{4-(-3)}$

which is 0/7

0 divided by 7 is 0, so there is your answer

ANSWER ASAP!! WILL GIVE OR MORE POINTS TO THE FIRST ONE WHO ANSWERS!

Sergio [31]

Answer: See the picture attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following mixed numbers:

$-2\frac{3}{4}\\\\-4\frac{1}{2}$

You need to convert them to decimal numbers. The steps to do this are shown below:

1. Divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator.

2. Add the quotient obtained to the whole number part.

Then:

$-2\frac{3}{4}=-(2+0.75)=-(2.75)=-2.75\\\\-4\frac{1}{2}=-(4+0.5)=-(4.5)=-4.5$

Therefore, the point is:

$(-2.75,-4.5)$

Where $-2.75$ is the x-coordinate and $-4.5$ is the y-coordinate.

Knowing this, you can plot it on the coordinate plane, as you can see in the picture attached.

How do you sketch the angle in standard position and 40 degrees

katen-ka-za [31]

A 40 degree angle: go from the right positive side of the x-axis and go left (left is positive degrees) forty degrees, which is a little less than halfway in quadrant 1.
