What is the x-intercept of the line that passes though the point (5, 3) with a slope of - 2/5?

1 answer:

4 0

Point/Slope Form of an equation!

(5,3)

slope of -2/5

x= 5
y = 3

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y - 3 = -2/5(x-5)

y - 3 = -2/5x + 2

y = -2/5x + 5

x intercept of 5

At a cake sale, David bought 3 cakes and paid $10.50. At the same price, Lisa bought 4 cakes and 8 cookies and paid $14.80. What

Olin [163]

Price of a Cake

10.5/3= 3.5

1 Cake = $3 and 5 cents, 3.5

Price of a cookie

3.5*4=14

14 out of 14.80 was the cost of 4 cakes

Which leaves us with 0.8

8/0.8= 0.1

The Price of 1 cookie is 0.1

1 Cake: 3.5

1 Cookie: 0.1

9 – 2k = 25 what is k

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

k = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 9 from both sides to get the constants on one side and the variables on the other

9 - 2k = 25

- 2k = 25 - 9

Simplify

- 2k = 16

Divide by -2 on both sides to isolate the variable, then simplify once more.

- 2k/ -2 = 16/ -2

k = 16/ -2

k = -8

Solve 7x − 2y = −3<br> 14x + y = 14

Sauron [17]

7x - 2y = -3

14x + y = 14
14x -14x + y = 14-14x
Y = 14 - 14x

7x -2y = -3
7x - 2(14 - 14x) = -3
7x -28 + 28x = -3
7x + 28x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 + 28 = -3 + 28
35x = 25
35x/35 = 25/35
X = 25/35 = 5/7.

Y = 14 - 14x
Y = 14 - 14(5/7)
Y = 14 - 10
Y = 4.

The solution P(5/7,4).

Solve 2 1/2 divided by 5 1/3 = 8/x

ipn [44]

$2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \quad divided\quad by\quad 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \\ \\ 2\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =2+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } =\frac { 5 }{ 2 } \\ \\ 5\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =5+\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 15+1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 16 }{ 3 } \\ \\ \\ \frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 } }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 } }$

We're dividing fractions, so we will flip the one in the denominator upside down and we will multiply it with the numerator.

$\frac { \frac { 5 }{ 2 } }{ \frac { 16 }{ 3 } } \quad =\quad \frac { 5 }{ 2 } \cdot \frac { 3 }{ 16 } =\frac { 5\cdot 3 }{ 2\cdot 16 } =\frac { 15 }{ 32 }$

Let's equal this too 8/x

$\frac { 15 }{ 32 } =\frac { 8 }{ x }$

Cross multiply.

$8\cdot 32=15\cdot x\\ \\ 256=15x$

Divide both sides by 15.

$\frac { 256 }{ 15 } =\frac { 15x }{ 15 } \\ \\ \frac { 256 }{ 15 } =x$

Can someone help me with this one

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$x(2x+1)(x-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x(2x^2-3x-2)$

$x(2x^2-4x+x-2)$

$x[2x(x-2)+1(x-2)]$

$x(2x+1)(x-2)$
