x = the weight of one steel ball y = the weight of one brass ball 2x + 5y = 13 (2 + 2)x + (5 - 2)y = 12 by solving the above system of equations we find:

x = 1.5 lbs y =2 lbs one steel ball weighs 1.5 lbs.one brass ball weighs 2 lbs.

Please Help!!! Determine the intercepts of the line that corresponds to the following table of values.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

y-intercept is (0,30); x-intercept is (52.5,0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that as x increases by 7 from -35 to -28,   y decreases by 4 from 18 to 14.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -4/7.

Let's find the equation of the line.  Start with the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b.  Use the slope m = -4/7 and the point (-28, 14) to find b:

14 = -(4/7)(28) + b, or

14 = -16 + b.  Then b = 30, and the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (-4/7)x + 30.  The y-intercept is (0, 30).

Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 and solving the resulting equation for x:

y = (-4/7)x + 30 becomes (4/7)x = 30, and x = (7/4)(30) = 214, or 52.5.

The x-intercept is thus (52.5, 0).

Suppose that is in standard position and the given point is on the terminal side of 0. Give the exact value of the indicated tri
Lilit [14]

Answer:

  12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the segment from the origin to the terminal point is ...

  r = √((-5)² +12²) = √169 = 13

The sine of the angle is the ratio of the y-coordinate to this distance

  sin(θ) = y/r = 12/13

_____

Additional comment

The other trig functions are ...

  cos(θ) = x/r = -5/13

  tan(θ) = y/x = -12/5

This is a 2nd-quadrant angle, where the sine is positive, but the cosine and tangent are negative.
