One point of the line is given to be (5, -1) and second point is the y-intercept of the line x - 3y = 6

We can write this equation as:

$x-6=3y \\ \\ 
y= \frac{1}{3}x-2$

So, the y-intercept of the line is -2.

Now we have two points for the new line (5, -1) and (0, -2). Using these we can find the slope

$Slope=m= \frac{-2+1}{0-5}= \frac{1}{5}$

Using the slope and the point (0, -2) we can write the equation in slope intercept form as:

$y= \frac{1}{5}x-2$

Thus the answer to this question is option C. Slope for the new line is 1/5 and the y-intercept is -2

Janet bought4/5 of a pound of walnuts. Her family ate 1/3 of a pound. How much is left?

Serga [27]

this just wants us to calculate 4/5-1/3

make common denom

4/5 times 3/3=12/15

1/3 times 5/5=5/15

4/5-1/3=12/15-5/15=(12-5)/15=7/15

7/15lb is left

An initial number of bacteria presented in a culture is 1,000. This number triples every 30 minutes. Write a function expressing

Svetlanka [38]

Tripiling time is
$A=P(3)^ \frac{t}{r}$
t=time elapsed
r=tripling time
P=initial amount

so

$A=1000(3)^ \frac{t}{30}$
when time is measured in minutes
if measured in hours then

$A=1000(3)^{2t}$ or $A=1000(9)^{t}$

Find the area of a triangle with legs that are 9mm 6mm and 12mm

Sidana [21]

Here we are given the three sides of the triangle.

So we have Heron's formula to find its area.

Heron's formula is given by :

$A= \sqrt{S(S-A)(S-B)(S-C)}$
