2x - 4y = 10

4y = 2x - 10

y = 1/2 x - 5/2

Slope = 1/2

Hi!

<h3>We need to isolate y on one side. Whatever we do to the equation we have to do to both sides. </h3>

-------------------------------------

<h3>Subtract 2x from both sides. </h3>

2x - 2x - 4y = -2x + 10

-4y = -2x + 10

<h3>Divide by -4 on both sides</h3>

-4y/-4 = -2x/-4 + 10/-4

--------------------------------------

<h2>The slope is 1/2</h2>

Hope this helps! :)

Evaluate v(x) = 14-3x when x=-3, 0 and 4.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$v(-3)=23\\v(0)=14\\v(4)=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$v(x)=14-3x$

$v(-3)=14-3(-3)\\\\v(-3)=14-(-9)\\\\v(-3)=23$

$v(0)=14-3(0)\\\\v(0)=14-0\\\\v(0)=14$

$v(4)=14-3(4)\\\\v(4)=14-12\\\\v(4)=2$

A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red

mamaluj [8]

Let red marbles = X.

The probability is 1 out of 5, written as 1/5

1/5 in terms of red marbles is equal to the number of red marbles divided by 5x, where 5x is the total number of marbles.

1/5 = x/5x

Now you have 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue.

Add 5 more red and the new probability is:

(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3

Simplify:

3x+15 = 5x+5

Now solve for x:

Subtract 3x from both sides:

15 = 2x +5

Subtract 5 from each side:

2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 10/2

X = 5

There were originally 5 red marbles.

Please Help! Thanks to whoever can answer this!

Here, we are missing the slope and the y intercept.

Lets look for the y intercept first.

Where does it cross the y axis? At 3!!

3 is the y intercept.

Now, find the slope by using the slope formula.

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$
(0,3) and (2,1)

m = 1-3/2-0 = -2/2 = -2/2 = -1
m = -1

Okay, so we found our slope, now just write the equation.

Answer: y = -1x + 3

What is the perimeter of the figure?

Monica [59]

Hey there,

So when finding the perimeter, we do addition.

So . . .

20 + 12 + 18 + 7+ 13+6

Your correct answer would be 76

Hope this helps.
