Convert each one to the form y = mx + b where m=slope and b = y-intercept.

(a) 5y = 10x - 40

y = 2x - 8 m= 2 (positive slope) and y-intercept = -8 so its not (a)

Answer:

The answer that represent a negative slope and a y-intercept 50 is letter C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answers are represented like a general equation Ax + By + C = 0, so you need to clear "y" to find slope-intercept form of a line y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept, so if you clear:

a) y = (10x - 40)/5 .... in this ecuation the slope is positive and the ininterception 40 negative.

b) y = (5x +12)/10 .... in this ecuation the slope is positive and the interception 12 positive.

d) y= (x-10)/2 .... in this ecuation the slope is positive and the interception 10 negative.

c) y = 50 - 5x, in this ecuation the slope is negative, and the interception 50 positive, so this is the correct answer.

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 32 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor aroun

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The rug should be 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a figure that represents the situation.

The the rug is $l$ by $h$ , the width of the strip of floor is $w$ .

We are told that Cynthia can only afford 420 square feet of carpeting; therefore, it must be that

$l*h=420$ <em>(this says the area of the rug must be 420 square feet)</em>

From the figure we see that

$l= 32-2w$

$h=19-2w$

Therefore,

$l*h=420\\\\(32-2w)(19-2w)=420$

We expand this equation and get:

$4w^2-102w+608=420\\\\4w^2-102w+188=0$

using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:

$w=2\\w=23.5$

since the second solution, namely $w=23.5$ , is larger than one of the dimensions of the room (is greater than 19 ft) it cannot be the width of the strip; therefore, we take $w=2$ to be our solution.

Now we find the dimensions of the rug:

$l=32-2(2)=28\\\\h=19-2(2)=15$

The rug is 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.

consider the function represented by the equation 16b = 4r - 12. write the equation in function notation, where b is the indepen

katovenus [111]

When you write a function in the form $y=f(x)$ , y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.

So, if b is the independent variable, it means that we have to solve the expression for r.

To do so, we perform the following steps: start with

$16b = 4r - 12$

Add 12 to both sides

$16b+12 = 4r$

Divide both sides by 4:

$4b+3 = r$

So, we wrote the expression in the form $r = f(b) = 4b+3$ , which means that r is the dependent variable and b is the independent variable, as requested.
