Answer: y= -x + 7

Solution:

Step 1 : find the slope using the equation using the pair of coordinates that are given i.e A (−7,14)  B (−21,28) ( name them A and B respectively so they can be easily named as x1, y1 and x2,y2 respectively)

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

m = 28-14 / -21 -( -7)

m =  14 / -14

m = -1

Step 2 : Find the y intercept using the line of equation (use and one of the given coordinates either A or B)

Using A ( -7, 14)

y= mx+ b

14 = (-1)(-7) + b

14= 7 + b

14-7 = b

7 =b

So,

y=mx+b

Insert m and b

y= -x + 7

The triangles below are similar. What is the value of x ?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ADE and triangle ABC are similar, that means their sides are proportional, thus we get the equation

\frac{AD}{AB} =\frac{DE}{BC}

\frac{2}{6} = \frac{x}{12}

6x = 24\\x=4

Thus the value of x is 4

Identify the slope of the equation, substitute by distribution I think, substitution for given point coordinates the y-intercept and combined like terms. And rewrite the equation in y-intersect form. I think this is write, have a great day!

A coffee mixture has beans that sell for $0.20 a pound and beans that sell for $0.68. If 120 pounds of beans create a mixture wo
atroni [7]
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x. 
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>

<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>

<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>

<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>

<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>

<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>

<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>

In 1987​, 522 comma 000 people worked in the air transportation industry. In 2003​, the number was 480 comma 000. ​(a) Find a li
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

the linear equation is :

y= -2625x+5737875

and 440000 employees will be in year 2271

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find the linerar equation let us first convert the given data into (x,y ) co-ordinates i.e

x1= 1987 y1= 522,000  

and

 

x2= 2003, y2 = 480000

according to two point form:

y-y1 = (y2-y1) \frac{x-x1}{x2-x1}

In this example we have x1=1987 , y1=522000 , x2=2003 and y2=480000. So,

y - 522000 = \frac{480000-522000}{2003-1987}  (x-1987)\\y- 522000 = -2625(x-1987)\\y- 522000= -2625x+5215875\\\\y= -2625x+5737875

now to find the year when there will be 440000 employs working , we simply put y= 440000 in the above derived equation

440000= -2625x+ 5737875\\\\2526x = 5737875 -440000\\2526x =  5736555\\x= \frac{5736555}{2526} \\x= 2271
