Find the value of x so that the function has the given value. j(x)=−4/5x+7; j(x)=−5

1 answer:

4 0

Sub j(x)=-5 into the first eq.
-5=(4/5x)+7
Add 7 to both sides
2=4/5x
Muliply both sides times 5x
10x=4
Divide both sides by 10
X=4/10
Simplify
X=2/5

Maya is helping a gardener plant 300 bulbs. They plant 20% of the bulbs on Monday and 30% of the bulbs on Tuesday. Maya says thi

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

because the total is 300 not 100 so 50 is not reasonable because that is the percentage they planted and since it is more than 100 then it should be a percent of 300 not 100. Maya is wrong about placing 50 bulbs instead they placed 150.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the given line.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel is: $\mathbf{y=-2x+11}$

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular is: $\mathbf{y=\frac{1}{2}x+1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel and (b) perpendicular to the given line.

First we will find slope of the line given in graph

The slope can be found using formula: $Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have points (1,6) and (2,2)

Slope is:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{2-6}{2-1}\\Slope=\frac{-4}{2}\\Slope=-2$

Part a)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel

When the lines are parallel, they have same slope. So, slope of required line: m = -2

Using slope m =-2 and point(4,3) we can find y-intercept b

$y=mx+b\\3=-2(4)+b\\3=-8+b\\b=3+8\\b=11$

The equation of line will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=-2x+11$

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (a) parallel is: $\mathbf{y=-2x+11}$

Part b)

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular

When the lines are perpendicular they have opposite slope. So, slope of required line: m = 1/2

Using slope m =1/2 and point(4,3) we can find y-intercept b

$y=mx+b\\3=\frac{1}{2}(4)+b\\3=2+b\\b=3-2\\b=1$

The equation of line will be:

$y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+1$

Equation of the line that passes through the given point and is (b) perpendicular is: $\mathbf{y=\frac{1}{2}x+1}$

Tell whether x and y show direct variation. x + y = 6

Over [174]

<h3>Answer: Not direct variation</h3>

The reason why is because it can't be written in the form y = kx

If we solved the given equation for y, we get y = -x+6. It has a y intercept of 6, but it should be zero if we wanted a direct variation equation.
