What is the slope of 3x+8y-1=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]4 years ago
7 0
One of the most common ways to find the slope is to put the problem in standard, slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b. The easiest way to describe this process is to isolate y.
Here's how you do it for this problem:
3x+8y-1=0 \\ (3x+8y-1)+1=(0)+1 \\ 3x+8y=1 \\ (3x+8y)-3x=(1)-3x \\ 8y=-3x+1 \\ (8y)/8=(-3x)/8+(1)/8 \\ y= -\frac{3}{8}x+ \frac{1}{8}
Since m is your slope, the answer would be -3/8.
Hope this helps!

For which value of m 4/16=m/24
vampirchik [111]
Solve for m:
1/4 = m/24
1/4 = m/24 is equivalent to m/24 = 1/4:
m/24 = 1/4
Multiply both sides of m/24 = 1/4 by 24:
(24 m)/24 = 24/4
(24 m)/24 = 24/24×m = m:
m = 24/4
24/4 = (4×6)/4 = 6:
Answer:  m = 6

A visitor is staying in a cabin that is 3 miles west of the closest point on a shoreline to a coral reef. The coral reef is 2 mi
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

3.6miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

distance of tent from the closest point on shore-line, d=3miles.

distance between shoreline point and coral reef, x=2miles

The shortest distance (say l) that the visitor runs towards the reef in order to swim a minimum distance which takes least time.

\therefore l^2=d^2+x^2\\l=\sqrt{3^2+3^2} \\l=3.6\ miles

Now on reaching at the shore at this point the visitor will have to swim the least distance due east to reach coral reef.

A circle with area \blue{9\pi}9πstart color #6495ed, 9, pi, end color #6495ed has a sector with a central angle of \purple{60^\c
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The area of the sector is 3pi/2

Step-by-step explanation:

A sector is that part of a circle bounded by 2 radii and an arc

The circle has an area of 9 pi with a central angle of 60 degrees.

Now the area of the sector is pretty much straight forward to calculate. Since it is a circle, the total angle we have is 360.

Now the sector subtends an angle of 60 degrees at the centre. What this means is that the sector is exactly 1/6 of the circle. meaning that cutting the circle into 6 slices will give the sector.

Thus, the area of the sector is one-sixth the area of the circle.

The area of the sector is thus 1/6 * 9pi = 9pi/6 = 3pi/2 or 3/2 pi

Given: m
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

m∠LTE = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add up all of the arcs.

2x+3x+4x-8+x-12

2. all of the arcs equal 360

2x+3x+4x-8+x-12=360

3. Find x

10x-20=360, x=38

4. angle LTE is equal to half of the sum of the intercepted arcs.

0.5(arc LE +GF)

5. plug in LE +GF with x

.5(76+144)
