Find slope intercept form of 5x+8y=120 passing through (4,5)
yarga [219]

Answer:

y=-(5/8)x+(15/2)  or  y=-0.625x+7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is

Find the slope intercept form of the line parallel to the line 5x+8y=120 passing through (4,5)

step 1

Find the slope of the given line

we have

5x+8y=120

isolate the variable y

8y=-5x+120

y=-(5/8)x+15

The slope of the given line is m=-5/8

step 2

Find the slope of the line parallel to the given line

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

so

The slope of the parallel line to given line is m=-5/8

step 3

Find the equation of the line into slope intercept form

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

we have

m=-5/8 and point (4,5)

substitute and solve for b

5=-(5/8)(4)+b

b=5+(20/8)

b=60/8=15/2=7.5

substitute

y=-(5/8)x+(15/2)

or

y=-0.625x+7.5

A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an
KIM [24]
The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw
Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)
-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)
Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

The quadratic function: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D-x%5E2-8x%2B1" id="TexFormula1" title="y=-x^2-8x+1" alt="y=-x^2-8x

Answer:

  2)  (-∞, 17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading coefficient of the function is negative, so the parabola opens downward. The vertex will be a maximum, the upper end of the range. The lower end of the range will be -∞.

The vertex of the function lies on the axis of symmetry. The maximum can be found by evaluating the function at x=-4.

  y = -(-4)² -8(-4) +1 = -16 +32 +1 = 17

The range of the function is (-∞, 17].
