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)

The figure shown is created by joining three rectangles. Enter the area of the figure, in square centimeters. Round to the neare
Basile [38]

Answer:

235

Step-by-step explanation:

first, separate the floor into 3 different rectangles to calculate the area and then add them together.

area of rec=L*B

rec 1: 9*12.5=112.5

rec 2: (13.5-5.5)*(19.5-9-7)=28

rec 3:7*13.5=94.5

Then:

112.5+28+94.5=235

A radiator contains 10 quarts of fluid, 30% of which is antifreeze. How much fluid should be drained and replaced with pure anti
babymother [125]

Answer:

1 3/7 quarts should be drained off and replaced with pure antifreeze.

1 3/7 ≈ 1.4286

Current amount of antifreeze in quarts is -

30/ 100 × 10 = 3

40% ---> 4 quarts

Let the amount drained of and replaced with antifreeze be x-

The amount left after draining off is 10 − x.

The amount of antifreeze  is 30/ 100 (10−x).

30/100(10-x)+x=4

3-3/10x+x=4

3+x(1-3/10)=4

x=1*10/7=1 3/7 quarts

check;

10- 1 3/7 = 8 4/7

=(30/100*8 4/7)+1 3/7

=(3/10 * 60/7) + 10/7

=3*6/7 + 10/7

=28/7

=4

4 liters of pure antifreeze is mixed into 10 quarts.
