Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

we know,

Equation of line with slope m

and passing through (x1,y1)  is,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

here, slope= -6/5 and the point is  (-5,3)

So, the equation is,

y-3=-\frac{6}{5} (x-(-5))\\or, y-3=-\frac{6}{5} (x+5)\\

Multiplying by  5

5(y-3)=-6(x+5)\\or, 5y-15=-6x-30\\or, 5y=-6x-30+15\\or, 5y=-6x-15\\

Dividing by  5

y=-\frac{6}{5} x-3

Answer: y = -6/5 x - 3

Solution :

The equation of line is  

y = mx + b  

y = y coordinate  

m = slope

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept

so to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)

substitute the slope (-6/5) and coordinates given (-5,3) ,

y = mx + b

3 = (-6/5) (-5) + b

3 = 6 + b

3 - 6 = b

-3 = b

So the equation would be,

y = mx + b

y = -6/5 x - 3

PLEASE HELP!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry solved this equation: 

3(x-\frac{1}{4})=\frac{13}{6}

In the first step , she multiplied 3 inside the parenthesis

1. 3x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}

In step 2, 3/4 is added on both sides

2. 3x-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13}{6}+\frac{3}{4}

In step 3, we take LCD 12

3. 3x=\frac{26}{12}+\frac{9}{12}

In step 4, add the fractions

4. 3x=\frac{35}{12}

Here, 3 or 3/1 are same.

\frac{3}{1}x=\frac{35}{12}

In step 5, to remove 3/1 we multiply both sides by 1/3.

Instead of multiplying 1/3 , Jerry made an error by multiplying 3/1

\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{1}x=\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{35}{12}

x=\frac{35}{36}

In step 5, he should have multiplied both sides by 1/3

What is 817.502 rounded to the nearest whole number?
kotegsom [21]
If a number has a decimal that is .5+, you round up. If it is .4-, you round down. So 817.502 would be 818.

I need the answer please I don't know it
Vlad1618 [11]
Basically the question is asking you for the area of the triangle.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is base x height divided by 2.
So in this case you would do 27 x 15.5 = 418.5
Now you divide by 2 (209.25)
So the answer is D. Hope this helps!!

There are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high.How many bricks will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: 375

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that there are 250 bricks used to build a wall 20 feet high, the number of brick used per feet will be:

= 250/20

= 12.5 bricks per feet.

Therefore, the number of bricks that will be used to buld a wall that is 30 fet high will be:

= 12.5 × 30

= 375 bricks.

Therefore, 375 bricks would be used.

Solve the system of linear equations by substitution x+4y =37 y = -x + 16
pantera1 [17]
You plug -x+16 in for y in x+4y=37 to get x after you multiply x+4y=37 by -1.
-x-4(-x+16)=-37
-x+4x-64=-37
3x-64=-37
3x=27
x=9
Then you plug 9 into either equation to get y.
y=-x+16
y=-(9)+16
y=7

x=9 and y=7
