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

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)

the ratio of cars to trucks at an auto dealer is 3/2. if there are 144 cars at the dealership, how many trucks are there?​
lana [24]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

for every 3 cars there is 2 trucks

If you have 144 cars then we divide 144 by 3 to get 48

That is not the answer though because that would be a 3/1 ratio

We then multiply 48 by 2 to get 96

Which choices are equivalent to the exponential expression below? Check all that apply. (4/5)^3​
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: Exponents are simply repeated multiplication.

The exponent determines how many times to multiply the base number by itself.

(\frac{4}{5} )^3=\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} =\frac{64}{25}

Option 'A' and 'C' apply.

Option D applies because:

\frac{4^3}{5^3} =\frac{64}{125}
