A line with a slope of 1 passes through the points (5,w) and (-7,-9). what is the value of w?

1 answer:

3 0

Slope = difference in y / difference in x
Slope = (w --9) / (5 --7)
Slope = (w +9) / (5 + 7)
12 * slope = w +9
w = 12*slope -9 and since slope = 1,
w = 12 -9
w = 3

Compare the two functions to see which has a greater rate of change. Function 1

AleksAgata [21]

Function 2 has greater rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the rate of change we have to covert the given linear functions in slope-intercept form

Function 1:

$-2x+5y = 10$

Adding 2x on both sides

$-2x+5y+2x = 2x+10\\5y = 2x+10$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{2x+10}{5}\\y = \frac{2}{5}x +\frac{10}{5}\\y = \frac{2}{5}x+2$

Let m1 be rate of change of function 1:

$m_1 = \frac{2}{5}$

Function 2:

$-6x+3y = 18$

Adding 6x on both sides

$-6x+3y+6x = 6x+18\\3y = 6x+18$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{6x+18}{3}\\y = \frac{6x}{3} + \frac{18}{3}\\y= 2x+6$

Let m2 be the slope of function 2

$m_2 = 2$

As we can see that

$m_2>m_1$

Function 2 has greater rate of change

Jared mows several lawns in his neighborhood and is paid a different amount per lawn. He decided to make a graph of how much mon

Tresset [83]

Answer: the false statement is c

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the amount earned for number of lawns mowed versus number of lawns mowed is sketched in the attached photo.

From the graph,

a) Money earned is graphed on the y-axis

b) The slope of the line can be used to estimate how much money Jared earns per lawn

d) Jared graphed the number of lawns mowed on the x-axis

The false statement is

c) Jared earns on average 14 dollars per lawn

HELP ASAP,, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

madreJ [45]

Answer:

a = 50°, b = 130°, c = 20°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles in the right triangle

a + 40° + 90° = 180°

a + 130° = 180° ( subtract 130° from both sides )

a = 50°

a and b are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , so

a + b = 180°

50° + b = 180° ( subtract 50° from both sides )

b = 130°

Then sum the angles in the top triangle, that is

30° + 130° + c = 180°

160° + c = 180° ( subtract 160° from both sides )

c = 20°
