Answer:


Answer:


The equation of line passing through (−2,3) is y−3=−3/2(x+2)

Explanation:


The slope of the line 3x+2y=10or2y=−3x+10ory=−32x+5 is m=−3/2[y=mx+c].


Parallel lines have equal slopes.


The equation of line passing through x1,y1 is y−y1=m(x−x1)


So the equation of line passing through (−2,3) is y−3=−3/2(x+2)[Ans]

Answer:

Y=-5/6x +2.74

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason that is correct is because a line that has a slope of -5/6 that also passes through the point (8,-4) would have to cross the Y axis at 2.75.

Write 3x^2-18x-6 in vertex form
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The standard form of a quadratic equation is \displaystyle{ y=ax^2+bx+c, while the vertex form is:

                      y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

What we want is to write \displaystyle{ y=3x^2-18x-6 as y=a(x-h)^2+k

First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2).


Second, we notice that x^2-6x are the terms produced by (x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9, without the 9. So we can write:

x^2-6x=(x-3)^2-9, and substituting in \displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2) we have:

\displaystyle{ y=3(x^2-6x-2)=3[(x-3)^2-9-2]=3[(x-3)^2-11].

Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:

y=3[x-3]^2-33.


Answer: y=3(x-3)^2-33

Problem page a delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. the large boxes weigh 45 pounds each, and the
marta [7]
S= number of small boxes
l= number of large boxes

equation 1:  s+l=120
equation 2:  15s+45l=3300

solve by elimination, multiply equation 1 by -15.

-15(s+l=120) =  -15s-15l=-1800  add to equation 2.

-15s+15s-15l+45l=-1800+3300  = 30l=1500

30l=1500 , l=50

s+l=120, s+50=120 --> s=70

Kendra found this relationship between the quantities in the table.
slava [35]

Answer:

Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Table

X|| Y

1 || 75

2 || 150

3 || 225

4 || 300

5 || 375

Given that Kendra multiply x by 7.5 to get y

The relationship of x and y can be calculated as thus;

y = rx

Where y and x are the values at the y and x column respectively and r is the constant of proportionality

When y = 75, x = 1.

Plug in these values in the above formula

y = rx becomes

75 = r * 1

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 150, x = 2

150 = r * 2

Multiply both sides by ½

150 * ½ = r * 2 * ½

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 225, x = 3

225 = r * 3

Multiply both sides by ⅓

225 * ⅓ = r * 3 * ⅓

75 = r

r = 75

Notice that r remains 75 and the difference between y values is 75

If you apply these formula on when y = 300 or 375 and when x = 4 or 5, the constant of proportionality will remain The value of 75.

Hence, Kendra mistake is that; Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values

Which explicit formula can be used to find the accounts balance at the beginning of year 3?
balandron [24]

The formula for the amount A in an account with principal P and interest rate r compounded annually for t years is

... A(t) = P(1+r)^t

You want to find A when P=400, r=0.05, and t=3. Substituting those values gives you

... A(3) = 400·(1 +0.05)³

The appropriate choice is

... A. A(3) = 400·(1 +0.05)³
