What is the equation of a line passing through (-3,7) and having a slope of -1/5?

1 answer:

4 0

We'll use the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know the slope, -1/5. Now the equation looks like y = (-1/5)m + b

To find the y-intercept, plug in the ordered pair that the question gave us into our equation and solve for b.

7 = (-1/5)(-3) + b
7 = 0.6 + b
6.4 = b
b = 6 2/5

So, the y-intercept will be at 6 2/5.

Find the area of the rhombus if AE = 20 m and DE = 32 m

Fudgin [204]

We have to calculate the area of the rhombus if AE = 20 m and DE = 32 m.The diagonals DB = 2 * DE and AC = 2 * AE.
DB = 2 * 32 = 64 mAC = 2 * 20 = 40 mArea = d1 * d2 / 2 = DB * AC / 2 = 64 * 40 / 2 = 1,280 m²Answer: The area of the rhombus is B ) 1,280 m².

The diagram shows a sketch of a survey done by a civil engineering student .Find the value of x,giving your answer correct to 1

Hatshy [7]

You can do this by drawing one line through parallel to PQS to meet RQ at T

Now calculate length of RT:-

cos 70 = RT / 70 giving RT = 23.94m

sin 70 = ST/70 giving ST = 65.78 m

draw a line from S perpendicular to PQ to meet PQ at U.

PU = 110 - 65.78 = 44.22 m

tan 50 = SU / 44.22 giving SU = 52.70 m

TQ = SU = 52.70 m

So x = TQ + RT = 52.70 + 23.94 = 76.6 m to 1 dec place.
