The slope is how much something increases or decreases by at a constant rate, for example if johnny buys 3 oranges every time he goes to the store the slope would be 3. the y-intercept is how many things you start with so if johnny already had 5 oranges before he went to the store the y-intercept would be 5. the equation for that situation would by y=3x+5... 3x is the 3 oranges johnny buys each time he goes to the store (the slope) and 5 is how many oranges he started with before going to the store at all (y-intercept)

You would use the cosine rule for this as you have 2 lines and are given the angle between them
The angle can be figured out easily as the clock has 12 equal components, meaning each component is 360/12 which is 30
As there are 5 components between A and B the angle is 30*5 =150
You can plug all of this into the cosine rule
a^2= b^2+c^2-2bcCos(A)
So a = sqrt( 10^2 +7^2 -(2*10*7) cos150)
a=16.4 to 3 sf

Write each equation in standard form.<br>18. y = 4x - 5<br>19. y - 3 = 5(4-X)

leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

y = 4x - 5 means : 4x-y=5

y - 3 = 5(4-X) equivalent : y-3 = 20 -5x means : 5x+y =23
