Write an equation for the line whose slope is 7/2 and which contains the point (-12,-9)

Mathematics

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b    "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)


Since you know m = 7/2, plug it into the equation

y = 7/2x + b  

To find "b", plug in (-12,-9) into the equation

y = 7/2x + b

-9 = 7/2(-12) + b

-9 = -84/2 + b

-9 = -42 + b     Add 42 on both sides

33 = b


y=\frac{7}{2}x+33




(if you're not suppose to use slope-intercept form)

Point-slope form:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)


m = 7/2

(x₁ , y₁) = (-12,-9)

Plug this into the equation

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-9) = 7/2(x - (-12))

y+9=\frac{7}{2}(x+12)

Pythagorean theorem
marta [7]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\ so 8^{2} +b^{2} =\sqrt{80} ^{2}

rearrange the formula:

\sqrt{80} ^{2} - 8^{2} = b^{2}

80 - 64 = b^2

b^2 = 16\\b  = \sqrt{16}

\sqrt{16}  = 4

x = 4+4 = 8

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient=

\frac{ - 8 - ( - 3)}{ - 3 - 2}  =  \frac{ - 8 + 3}{ - 5} =  \frac{ - 5}{ - 5}  = 1

A board that measures 3/4 feet long is cut into 6 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?
shusha [124]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there is a \frac{3}{4} feet long board and that it is split into 6 pieces.

With that information, we can split it by doing the following:

1. \frac{3}{4} *\frac{1}{6}

We can do this because we have a board that is 0.75 feet long and we multiply it by one sixth because we want to divide a fraction and to do that we have to flip the fraction.

After doing that, we get our answer of \frac{3}{24}=\frac{1}{8}

This means that each piece is \frac{1}{8} feet long.

Cheers!
