What is the equation of the line

Mathematics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It's the first choice y = (-5/2)x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope of the line  5x + 2y = 12 by converting to slope-intercept form.

5x + 2y = 12

2y = -5x + 12

y = (-5/2)x + 6   so the slope is (-5/2).

The line we require had also a slope of -5/2 because it is parallel to the first line and it also passes through the point (-2, 4). So:

y - 4 = (-5/2)(x - -2)      (the point-slope form)

y - 4 = (-5/2)(x + 2)

y = (-5/2)x - 5 + 4

y = (-5/2)x - 1  (answer)

A student has a 2% salt water solution and a 7% salt water solution. To best imitate salt water at a local beach, he needs 1 lit
FromTheMoon [43]

Let

x-------> the amount of 2\% solution

y--------> the amount of 7\% solution

we know that

2\%=0.02\\7\%=0.07\\3.5\%=0.035

so

x+y=1

y=1-x -------> equation A

0.02x+0.07y=0.035 -------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0.02x+0.07(1-x)=0.035

0.02x+0.07-0.07x=0.035

0.05x=0.035

x=0.7\ liters

find the value of y

y=1-x

y=1-0.7=0.3\ liters

therefore

The student need 0.7\ liters of 2\% solution and 0.3\ liters of 7\% solution

<u>the answer is</u>

A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation

B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.

How do you understand what happens on a fraction number line and how do you know where the fraction is. Tell me how we will be a

Answer:

  understand what the fraction means

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to <em>understand what 2/3 means</em>. It means 1 whole has been divided into 3 equal parts, and you're concerned with 2 of those parts.

In the number line in the first attachment, the space between 0 and 1 has been divided into 3 equal parts. The decimal value (rounded) is shown at each tick mark. The point marked "2/3" is located at the second of those divisions, counting from zero.

__

The same fraction is located on the same number line in the second attachment. That number line is marked with divisions at intervals of 1/10, so there are 10 of them between 0 and 1. The value 2/3 is represented by the point that is (2/3)(10) = 6 2/3 of those intervals, so is between 0.6 and 0.7 on the number line.

__

If the number line were divided into 12ths, then the fraction 2/3 would be located at the 8th tick mark, counting from 0. (2/3)(12) = 8 That is shown in the third attachment.

Micheal took his brother to the movies. Micheal paid regular price, but it cost $2 less for his brother at the child price. It c
iren [92.7K]

It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Micheal's ticket price= x

His brother ticket price = y

According to given statement;

x+y=12    Eqn 1

y = x-2    Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

x+(x-2)=12\\x+x-2=12\\2x=12+2\\2x=14\\

Dividing both sides by 2;

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2}\\x=7

Putting x=7 in Eqn 2

y=7-2\\y=5

It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.
