Step-by-step explanation:

m =  -  \frac{2}{3}  \\ ( - 10 ,\: 8) = (x_1,y_1)

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Plug in the values into the equation

y - 8 =  -  \frac{2}{3} (x - ( - 10)) \\ y - 8 =  -  \frac{2}{3}( x + 10) \\

y - 8 =  -  \frac{2}{3} x  -  \frac{20}{ 3 }  \\ y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x -  \frac{20}{3}  + 8 \\

y =  -  \frac{2}{3} x +  \frac{4}{3}

To solve for x-intercept , Arrange the values in

ax + by + c = 0

=

-  \frac{2}{3} x - y +  \frac{4}{3}  = 0

To find x-intercept .let y = 0 in the above equation

-  \frac{2}{3} x - y +  \frac{4}{3}  = 0 \\  -  \frac{2}{3} x - 0 +  \frac{4}{3}  = 0 \\

-  \frac{2}{3} x +  \frac{4}{3}  = 0 \\  -  \frac{2}{3} x =  -  \frac{4}{3}

Solve for x ;

x = 2

To find y intercept , let x = 0

and solve for y .

I hope it helps <3

y = mx + b    

m = -²/₃ and line pases  through (-10, 8) so:

8 = -²/₃(-10) + b

8 = ²⁰/₃ + b

b = 8 - ²⁰/₃

b = 8 - 6²/₃

b = 1¹/₃

b = ⁴/₃

Slope Intercept Form:

<h3>                                    y = -²/₃x + ⁴/₃</h3>

x-intercept:

-²/₃x + ⁴/₃ = 0

-²/₃x =- ⁴/₃

x = - ⁴/₃ ÷(-²/₃)

x = 2                  

<h3>                                    (2, 0)</h3>

y-intercept:

y =  -²/₃•0+ ⁴/₃ =  ⁴/₃

<h3>                                    (0, ⁴/₃)         </h3>

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

It costs $2.80 to make a sandwich at the local deli shop.

To make a profit, the deli sells it at a price that is 170% of the cost.

170% is written in the decimal form

= \frac{170}{100}

= 1.7

Thus

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × Cost of making

Put all the values in the above

Sandwich selling cost = 1.7 × $ 2.80

                                    = $4.76

Therefore the Sandwich sells for  $4.76  .

State whether the following statements are true or false, and explain your reasoning.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A square is a rectangle.   True

Reason: Property of Rectangle: (i) Opposite sides are equal and parallel. (ii) Each angle is 90 (iii) Diagonals are equal and bisect each other.

A square hold all these properties. A square is  a rectangle.

b) A polygon with 21 sides has 432 possible diagonals. False

Reason: Number of diagonals of a polygon = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}

n --> number of sides of a polygon.

= \frac{21*18}{2} = 189 diagonals

c) All three angles in an Isosceles triangle are equal. False

Reason: In an isosceles triangle, two angles are equal.

If three angles are equal, then that is an equilateral triangle.

d) The measures of the exterior angles of a nonagon, a nine-sided figure, have a sum of 360°. True.

Reason: The sum of measures of the exterior angles  of any polygon is 360
