Answer:

Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500

x-intercept = -8/1 = -8.00000

y-intercept = -8/2 = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Equation of a Straight Line

Graph of a Straight Line

Calculate the Y-Intercept

Calculate the Slope

Calculate the X-Intercept

Answer: Slope = -1.000/2.000 = -0.500

Hope this helps.

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

x + 2y = - 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

2y = - x - 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = − 2/3 x + 1/3 shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7)

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The approximate solution to the system is $(-2.7, 2.1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations $\begin{bmatrix}y=0.5x+3.5\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}$ you must:

$\mathrm{Rationalize\:equations}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}y=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x+\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\\\\-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{19}{6}+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\-\frac{7}{6}x=\frac{19}{6}\\\\6\left(-\frac{7}{6}x\right)=\frac{19\cdot \:6}{6}\\\\-7x=19\\\\x=-\frac{19}{7}\approx-2.7$

$\mathrm{For\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-\frac{19}{7}\\\\y=-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{19}{7}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\\\\y=\frac{15}{7}\approx 2.1$

The approximate solutions to the system of equations are:

$x=-2.7 ,\:y=2.1$

F(t)=t^2+19t+60 What are the zeros of the function and what is the vertex of the parabola?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: $-4,-15;\ \left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function is $F(t)=t^2+19+60$

Zeroes of the function are

$t^2+19t+60=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm\sqrt{19^2-4\times 1\times 60}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm \sqrt{121}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{-19\pm 11}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=-4,-15$

Using completing the square method

$y=t^2+2\times \dfrac{19}{2}t+\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}-\dfrac{19^2}{2^2}+60\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2+60-\dfrac{361}{4}\\\\y=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\y+\dfrac{121}{4}=\left(t+\dfrac{19}{2}\right)^2\\\\\left(y-(-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)=\left(t-(-\dfrac{19}{2})\right)^2\\\\\text{The vertex is }\left(-\dfrac{19}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)$
