What is the y intercept of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (2,7)

1 answer:

5 0

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(2,7)...x = 7 and y = 2
now we sub and fund b, the y int
2 = -3(7) + b
2 = -21 + b
2 + 21 = b
23 = b <== ur y int

Answer:

These triangles cannot be proved congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The theorems for congruence are SSS SAS ASA AAS. Here, there is only one common side and one common angle marked, therefore you cannot prove congruency.

About how much difference in average leaf width would you find in two forests whose average annual rainfalls are near 1500 mm bu

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4.80 mm to 2 d.p

Step-by-step explanation:

w = f(r)

f'(r) = (dw/dr) = (0.0218 mm/mm)

So, for a small difference in rainfall of 220 mm, what is the corresponding small difference in width of leaves in the two forests given.

One definition of a derivative or a rate of change is that it is the ratio of very small differences in the dependent variable to very small differences in the independent variable.

Mathematically,

(dw/dr) = (Δw/Δr) for very small Δw and Δr.

0.0218 = (Δw/220)

Δw = 0.0218 × 220 = 4.796 mm = 4.80 mm to 2 d.p

Hope this Helps!!!

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.<br><br> (–5.5, 6.1), (–2.5, 3.1)

hjlf

Slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are,

(-5.5,6.1),(-2.5,3.1)

Here,

$x_{1} = -5.5 ,\ \ \ x_{2}=-2.5\\y_{1} = 6.1,\ \ \ y_{2}=3.1$

Slope = m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}$

Putting values;

$m=\frac{3.1-6.1}{-2.5-(-5.5)}\\m=\frac{-3}{-2.5+5.5}\\m=\frac{-3}{3}\\m=-1$

Slope of the line is -1.
