So to do this, we take any 2 coordinate points and subtract them to find the slope. For this one i'll go ahead and and take (4,6) and (-2,1), then we set them up. Subtract the X coordinates from each other and the Y's from each other.

4-(-2) change the two negatives to 4+2=6

6-1=5

So 6/5 is the slope, now lets simplify to get 6/5.

Your equation is y=6/5x+3

-Seth.

P.S. It may be y=6/5x+2.5 or something, i cant tell exactly where it goes through the y intercept.

A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3084 mi. The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side, and the longest side

kari74 [83]

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the shortest side

y represents the middle side

z represents the longest side

so, set the equations

a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter= side1+side2+side3} \\ replace \\ 3084=x+y+z \\ x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \end{gathered}$

b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)

$x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2)$

c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)

$z=y+379\Rightarrow equation(3)$

Step 2

solve the equations

a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ (y-76)+y+(y+379)=3084 \\ -76+3y+379=3084 \\ 303+3y=3084 \\ 3y=3084-303 \\ \\ 3y=2781 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2781}{3} \\ y=927 \end{gathered}$

now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x

$\begin{gathered} x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=927-76 \\ x=851 \end{gathered}$

c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ 851+927+z=3084 \\ \text{add like terms} \\ 1778+z=3084 \\ \text{subtract 1778 in both sides} \\ 1778+z-1778=3084-1778 \\ z=1306 \end{gathered}$

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Answer:

2x²+5x-9=0

using quadratic formula

a=2 b=5 c=-9

x=[-5±√5²-4(2)(-9)]/2(2)

x=[-5±√97]/4

the zeros are( -5±√97)/4

Martin is saving for a gaming system. The total cost of the gaming system and three games is $325.49. About how much money shoul

aksik [14]

First you would do $325.49 divided by 10 and you would get $32.55. so you would need $32.55 a week.
