What is tje equation for the linear function whose graph contains the points (2,5) and (3,0) ?

1 answer:

4 0

In order to find a slope, there is an equation:

Y2-Y1/X2-X1

X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0

0-5= -5
3-2=1

Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.

Now, we need to find the y-intercept.

To do this, shift the original equation:

Original equation: y=-5x+b

Shifted equation: b=y+5x

Now, plug in one of the points.

Let's use (2,5)

b=5+5(2)

5*2=10
10+5=15

y-intercept=15

So, the full equation of the line would be:

y=-5x+15

How do i solve divide 5/8 by 50%

Ede4ka [16]

50% is $\frac{50}{100}$
We have two ways to do this, pick your favor:
either by fractions:
$\frac{5}{8}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{2}$
( $\frac{50}{100} = \frac{1}{2}$
Multiply by the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{2}$ which is 2(flip it)

$\frac{5}{8}$ × 2 = $\frac{5}{4}$ = 1.25

Or change them to decimals:
$\frac{5}{8} = 0.625$
$\frac{50}{100}$ = 0.5

0.625 ÷ 0.5

0.5 I 0.625
multiply by 10 to make it easier to divide(it still gives us the same answer)
0.5 × 10 = 5
0.625 × 10 = 6.25
1.25
5 I 6.25
-5
12
-10
25
-25
0

0.625 ÷ 0.5 = 1.25

The area of a playground is 336 yd2. The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of th

kondaur [170]

L=16
W=21

Set up a systems of equations:
x=length
y=width

xy=336
x+5=y

Use substitution to solve:
x(x+5)=336
x^2+5x=336

Solve using factoring:
x^2+5x-336=0
(x-16)(x+21)=0
x=16 and x= -21
Since length can't be negative, l=16

To find width, plug length into the first equation:
(16)y=336
y=21

So...
L=16
<span>W=21</span>

Round 65,470 to the nearest thousand

Aneli [31]

You have to have a number that ends with three zeros. You have to look at the number formed by the last three digits. If this number smaller or equal to 500, you round down, meaning you just replace the three digits by three zeros, if it is bigger than 500, you round up, meaning you replace the three digits by three zeros and add one to the digit of the thousands.

Here, the last three digits form the number 470 which is smaller than 500 so the nearest thousand of 65470 is 65000.
