i dont know if you want me to answer them or not, but you have to COMBINE LIKE TERMS if you dont then your problems would be messed up example if you have a+a it would be 2a make sense? so you want everything combined then you have to solve. theres no possible way of solving these without numbers number would have to be added although youll probably end up getting rid of the numbers in the end. after you combine like terms do the rest of solving

hope that helps if you need more help pm me, :)

What is the multiplicative inverse of -27 and what is the multiplicative inverse for 7/9 and -9/16

liberstina [14]

The multiplicative inverse of a number is the number when you multiply it, it gives you the product of 1.

So for - 27, what number will give us 1 when we multiply it by -27

-27 * -1/27 = 1

So the multiplicative inverse of -27 = -1/27

7/9 * 9/7 = 1

-9/16 * -16/9 = 1

So in essence, just take the number and flip it

-27 = -1 / 27

7/9 = 9/7

-9/16 = -16/9

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (-5,7) and (2,3)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+4\frac{1}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in order to solve this problem, I started off by drawing it out. On my graph that I have attached below, I first started out by locating the points (-5,7) and (2,3). Now, this is an optional step, but I highly encourage practicing your graphing skills by solving this problem on graph paper as well. Next, I connected the two points that I just graphed. This is the line that passes through (-5,7) and (2,3).

Now, here is where the actual solving starts. If you haven't already been taught this yet, I will introduce it to you now. I am going to find the equation of this line by filling in what I know in the equation y=mx+b, where m= the slope of the line, and b= y intercept.

Slope of the line: m= $\frac{y_{1} - y_{2} }{x_{1} - x_{2} } = \frac{7-3}{-5-2} = \frac{4}{-7}= -\frac{4}{7}$

If you haven't been taught how to find the slope of a line I recommend you find out.

Substitute the slope into the equation.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\$

Now, we will solve for the 'b,' or y intercept.

We already have x and y values to use: (-5,7) or (2,3). I'll use x=2 and y=3 to solve for the y intercept.

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+b\\\\3=-\frac{4}{7} *2+b\\\\3=-\frac{8}{7} +b\\b=3+\frac{8}{7} \\b=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{8}{7}=\frac{29}{7} =4\frac{1}{7} \\b=4\frac{1}{7}$
