Find the equation of a line with slope 1/2 and y intercept -1

1 answer:

4 0

If you use slope-intercept form, Y =mx+b

m is equal to the slope,
and b is the y intercept.

Y= (1/2)x+ (-1)

or
Y = (1/2)x-1

Solve 2x + 5y = –13. 3x – 4y = –8

disa [49]

If you would like to solve 2x + 5y = - 13 and 3x - 4y = -8, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>2x + 5y = -13 /*4
3x - 4y = -8 /*5
</span>_________________
8x + 20y = -52
15x - 20y = -40
_________________
8x + 15x + 20y - 20y = -52 - 40
23x = -92 /23
x = -92 / 23
x = -4

<span>2x + 5y = -13
</span>2 * (-4) + 5y = -13
-8 + 5y = -13
5y = -13 + 8
5y = -5
y = -1

(x, y) = (-4, -1)

The correct result would be D.) <span>(-4, -1).</span>

Drag values to complete each equation.

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.
