How do i find the intercepts of the equation -5x-4y=10

Mathematics

Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

To find the x intercept, let y=0. To find the y-intercept, let x=0. Hence, the x-intercept of the given equation is -2 and the y-intercept is -5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let - 5x - 4y = 10 be the given equation.

Simplify the whole equation by dividing both sides by -1 :

  • 5x + 4y = -10

To get the x-intercept, simply let y=0 :

  • 5x + 4(0) = -10 (substitution)
  • 5x = -10           (evaluate)
  • x = -2               (simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by 5)

To get the y-intercept, simply let x=0 :

  • 5(0) +4y = -10  (substitution)
  • 4y = -10            (evaluate)
  • y = -10/4           (simplify by dividing both sides of the equation by 4)
  • y = -5/2            (simplify the fraction)

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1
Nuetrik [128]

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, \bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1 has a slope of -2.


now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope =  m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached image.  I numbered angles differently so as not to make an <u>assumption</u> that angles numbered the same are congruent.

\overline{AB} \parallel \overline{CD}\\\angle1 \cong \angle3 (alternate interior angles are congruent)

\overline{AD} \parallel \overline{BC}\\\angle 2 \cong \angle 4 (alternate interior angles are congruent)

\overline{AB} \cong \overline{CD}  (opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

\triangle{ABO \cong \triangle{CDO}  (ASA - side/angle/side)

\overline{AO} \cong \overline{CO}\\\overline{BO} \cong \overline{DO}  (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

The diagonals bisect each other!

Got three questions need with .

Answer:

14.

Center = (-7,4)

Radius = 7

15.  189 square yards

16.  84 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

14.

The standard form of a circle is given as:

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where

(h,k) is the center

and

r is the radius of the circle

Given, the circle equation in this problem as:

(x+7)^2+(y-4)^2=49

We re arrange this:

(x-(-7))^2+(y-(4))^2=7^2

Now, we clearly see that the center is (-7,4)  and  the radius is 7

Hence,

Center = (-7,4)

Radius = 7

15.

For simplicity, let the point at DE, where it makes the right angle, be the point "H".

DEF is the triangle.

So, we see now that:

DE = 21 yd

FH = 18 yd

DE is the base of the triangle and FH is the height of the triangle.

The area of a triangle is:

Area = 0.5 * base * height

So, we now find the area to be:

Area = 0.5 * 21 * 18 = 189 square yards

16.

Rhombus is a quadrilateral (figure with 4 sides) whose 4 sides have equal length.

The diagonal is the length from one corner to the opposite corner. So, a rhombus has 2 diagonals.

The area of the rhombus, in terms of diagonals, would be:

Area = (Diagonal1 * Diagonal2)/2

So, we multiply the 2 diagonal's length and divide the answer by 2.

We have:

Diagonal 1 = 12

Diagonal 2 = 14

Hence, area would be:

Area = (12*14)/2 = 84 square inches
