Point-slope form looks like this: y - k = m(x - h) where m is the slope, k is the y-value and h is the x-value. For (-3, -8), -3 would replace h and -8 would replace k.

Slope-intercept form looks like this: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-value.

To solve the problem we must plug in the given coordinate and slope to the point-slope formula then change the point-slope form into slope-intercept form. But first we need to know what the slope is.

If a line is perpendicular to another line, their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So with the line y = 3/2x + 3, the slope for another line that is perpendicular has to be -2/3 because we switched the numerator and denominator and made it from positive to negative.

Now that we know the slope and the given coordinate, we can start solving.

Plug the givens into the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).
y - (-8) = -2/3(x - (-3))
y + 8 = (-2/3*x) - (-2/3*-3)
y + 8 = -2/3x + 2 Now we can convert the equation to slope-intercept form.
y + 8 - 8 = -2/3x + 2 - 8 Remember that what we do on one side we must do one the other, so we subtract 8 on the left <em>and </em>right to get y by itself.
y = -2/3x - 6 This equation is now in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, so this is the final result.

I hope this explanation made sense. If there is anything that I made look confusing, feel free to tell me and I'll try my best to explain!

Find all pairs of natural numbers which can be the solution to the equation a+b=42.
Setler [38]

Answer:

(1,41), (2,40), (3,39), (4,38), (5,37), (6,36), (7,35), (8,34), (9,33), (10,32), (11,31), (12,30), (13,29), (14,28), (15,27), (16,26), (17,25), (18,24), (19,23), (20,22), (21,21), (22,20), (23,19), (24,18), (25,17), (26,16), (27,15), (28,14), (29,13), (30,12), (31,11), (32,10), (33,9), (34,8), (35,7), (36,6), (37,5), (38,4), (39,3), (40,2), (41,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find all pairs of natural numbers which are solution to a+b=42, we need to first choose a value to one of them (let's choose 'a'), and that value will be the lowest possible, so we begin with a=1, and then we increase to 2, and 3, and so on.

For each value of a, we calculate the value of b using the equation.

So, starting with a=1, we have that b=41

Then, with a=2, we have that b=40, and so on.

Doing this until a=41 (so b=1 will be the lowest value possible for b), we have the pairs of natural number we want:

(1,41), (2,40), (3,39), (4,38), (5,37), (6,36), (7,35), (8,34), (9,33), (10,32), (11,31), (12,30), (13,29), (14,28), (15,27), (16,26), (17,25), (18,24), (19,23), (20,22), (21,21), (22,20), (23,19), (24,18), (25,17), (26,16), (27,15), (28,14), (29,13), (30,12), (31,11), (32,10), (33,9), (34,8), (35,7), (36,6), (37,5), (38,4), (39,3), (40,2), (41,1).

Ash buys 5 bunches of flowers. Each bunch contains 10 flowers. He gets 8 more flowers from his yard.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

5 x 10 + 8 = f

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason it is 5 x 10 + 8 = f, is because each bunch has 10 and Ash has five.

In order to find how many flowers he has in 5 bunches is to multiply by how many flowers each bunch has.

Then he gets 8 more flowers which is why it has +8 in the equation.

Zach is filling his dogs bowl with water. Is it reasonable to say that Zach will need about 4 gallons of water?
xeze [42]
No, that would not be reasonable to say.

If you were filling some buckets, you could say 4 gallons, but we’re talking about a bowl and at the most that will take just a few cups.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further explanation!
